Petition to stop E10 fuel - Nick Salmon - 16-12-2021
Probably way too late, and highly unlikely to carry any weight - but it made me feel better signing it.

As it’s been planned for years it is far too late unfortunately! It will not attract attention without a minimum of 100,000 signatures and even then the chances of a Parliamentary debate are slim to non-existent. It’s a done deal.
However, trying to get special dispensation for vintage and PVT vehicles might be worth a go?
I’m learning to live with it and will be draining my tanks for winter.
Does anyone have a contact for affordable avgas?

In our area Bagby Airfield (AKA Bagby International) is the place.

We are having absolutely no problems with E10 nor do we anticipate any.

Americans with A7s have been using it for years without issue too.

I admit I have also gone over to the dark side.

I just use super unleaded.
There's a viable E5 (or less) alternative at the pumps, so what's problem?

But it's not legal to use it on the road.
My local airfield keep a register of purchasers, and you have to sign that it's not going to be used in a road car.

My elderly 'modern' is supposedly OK with E10 fuel, but monitoring the fuel consumption over the last few months shows about a 10% increase since the E10 introduction; E5 is readily available round here at a 7% mark-up, so I'll be using that in future.

If we use E5 in modern cars the longer it will remain on sale.

On the continent Super unleaded is E10.
I expect it will be the same here soon.
