                  petrol stations in the UK will sell E10 fuel as the standard 
                  from September 2021 - that is expected to be announced by the 
                  UK Government today. Whilst all petrol stations will sell E10 
                  as the standard fuel, the older E5 will still be sold but as 
                  a more expensive super grade. That will enable owners of classic 
                  cars to use the less damaging fuel for their cars. In 2018 the 
                  Times reported there were around one million cars registered 
                  in the UK before 2000 that cannot use E10 and that number included 
                  75,800 MGs. 
 For drivers of modern cars used as their daily driver, the introduction 
                  of E10 will raise their motor fuel costs by around 1.6% because 
                  the ethanol in E10 produces less energy per litre. On top of 
                  that using more litres per 100 miles as a consequence the Government's 
                  tax take on more litres consumed will be greater. Will we also 
                  see a fuel tax rise in the Chancellor's Budget next week?
