A call to ban ethanol from all uk fuel?

[LittleCasper]

I probably won't be the first or last to ask this, but would people be interested in signing a petition to ban ethanol in all UK petroleum fuel products?

We're told that introducing E10/E5 ethanol into our fuel is better for the environment, but once you actually look into the production and simple logistics the entire argument gets blown out the water; not only is it less efficient meaning I'm actually getting worse economy so I'm literally burning more fuel but people like myself are forced to pay a premium for E5 fuels as they have no other option.

I think this sort of thing needs nipping in the bud before the nanny state and their friends turn up bioethanol production to 11, so they can create propaganda telling us the industry is on its back legs and can then subsequently force us into an E10/15/20... nation. All things in life should be about choice, so I'm just wondering is this something we can actually get moving or will it be a bust that will sit at 10 supporters?

I fear that one day we will be forced in to this without any say, which we already have done with E10. If we don' do something now we won't be able to make any changes in the future. As an owner of a classic motorcycle it scares me that there may come a day when I can't even get fuel for my motor, because some back bencher is making us all switch to a useless fuel standard to make a quick buck.

“not only is it less efficient meaning I'm actually getting worse economy”

not agreeing or disagreeing with your general message but I contributed to another thread on here regarding mpg with E10 as my old IS300h seemed to see an increase in mpg post E10
