Fuel prices have been rising since June, when they were at a considerably low price of 107p per litre of petrol and 112p for diesel. Since then, both E10 petrol and diesel have hit their all-time record highs, shattering the price and nearing 150p for a litre of petrol and diesel hitting a peak of 150.96p.
According to RAC Fuel Watch, these prices are expected to fall.
When E10 was launched in September 2021, the Department for Transport said the switch to the new petrol would not cost more than the then-current standard of petrol.
Since then, E5 was designated as “super” unleaded petrol, which it says is still readily available from most filling stations.
The RAC reports the average price of super unleaded to be 158.65p per litre, meaning the average 55-litre tank would cost £87.25 for drivers to fill up.

“My car’s quite new and it’s guzzling this stuff.

“The pumps I use don’t have E5 but will look out for it.
They said: “Yeah I’ve noticed that. I’ve swapped over to the BP Ultimate.
“£20 of the E10 BP and I was getting 33mpg. £20 of the BP Ultimate that has E5 in it and I’m getting 45mpg.
“My car hated the E10 p*** water.”
At the time of its introduction to forecourts, it was estimated that around 600,000 vehicles would not be compatible with the petrol.
Those with incompatible cars were recommended to continue using E5 petrol or if they are unsure, contact their vehicle manufacturer.
