E10 fuel was introduced in September as the new standard grade of petrol, replacing E5 which was reclassified as a ‘super’ petrol. Since then, many drivers have complained about the impact E10 has had on their cars, particularly the price of the petrol and the fuel efficiency.
One driver, Clive, responded to a tweet about rising interest rates and the impact it is having on the UK.
They wrote: “And the price of petrol is crippling people, no call for a cut in tax on that?
“If you live in a rural location a car is needed, not a luxury.
“Then again many cars will get scrapped because of the un-green E10 petrol which no MP is owning up to supporting its introduction.”

A third Twitter user using the handle ShannonJ995 said her petrol bills had risen dramatically.
She claimed: “This E10 petrol is actually shocking!
“It’s actually costing me double a month of what it used to be!”
This comes as many are reacting to the news of inflation rates soaring, with some pointing out that fuel prices had contributed to the rise.
He said: “A wide range of price rises contributed to another steep rise in inflation, which now stands at its highest rate for over a decade.
“The price of fuel increased notably, pushing average petrol prices higher than we have seen before.
“Clothing costs – which increased after falling this time last year – along with price rises for food, second-hand cars and increased tobacco duty all helped drive up inflation this month.
“The costs of goods produced by factories and the price of raw materials have continued to increase significantly to their highest rate for at least 12 years.”
