“In relation to the E5 protection grade, such a review will examine market developments over the period.
“HM Government have sought to reassure FBHVC members and historic vehicle owners that, without a suitable alternative becoming available, it is highly likely the Super E5 protection grade would continue to be available.
“Filling stations that stock two grades of petrol and supply at least one million litres of fuel in total each year, will need to ensure one product is the Super E5 protection grade.
“While not all filling stations meet these criteria, almost all towns across the UK will have a filling station that supplies the ‘Super’ grade and currently one major retailer, a national supermarket group, has committed to offer the product.

Classic car collected sued by Jaguar over replica C-Type says ruling 'opens doors'

He added: “This must be the first car in history to be copyrighted."
Elizabeth added: “It's a law that is supposed to protect art, so taking that to a car is quite a stretch really. For a car, you don't really have that much artistic freedom when you design a car, especially a racing car."
Just weeks ago, Jaguar Classics confirmed it would be producing eight more C-Type models to celebrate the car's 60th anniversary.
The new cars will allow fans to purchase a historic 1953 model from the firm for the first time. Some models are still available with the models valued at around $1.3million.
