Plenty round here, I bought some today from Tescos- £7 a gallon! (I remember when 4 star was 70p a gallon)It will soon be cheaper to travel by 'bus.I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

Considering most cars in the UK are made outside of UK and not that many of them are pre 2002 I'm not surprised there's not many pumps with E5.
I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0 -
We don't all fill up with E5 just becasue we have old cars which we think can't cope with E10. I treated my 2002 Focus to a full tank of E5 just because. I had got the heater fixed and took it for a full valet so thought why not.peter_the_piper said:Considering most cars in the UK are made outside of UK and not that many of them are pre 2002 I'm not surprised there's not many pumps with E5.0 -
Are you sure about that?peter_the_piper said:Considering most cars in the UK are made outside of UK0 -
What is becoming increasingly difficult to get is LPG AutoGas. Shell seem to have stopped selling it and a lot of other places haven't had stock for ages and/or quietly discontinuing it.
Very concerning especially when you got the like of Dacia selling bi-fuel cars.0
