Don't worry too much because as I said, E5 petrol will be available for quite a while yet I imagine.
I wanted to increase awareness, not scare anybody into getting rid of or adapting their cars.
I'm not sure what this will mean for "classics" in the longer term though?
Perhaps some sort of add-on might be enough as in the currently-available lead replacement fuel additives?
It does mean that sooner or later and one way or another, driving an older car which isn't compatible with E10 will cost more to run.
