Frequently Asked Questions

Ethanol is a renewable fuel produced from plant materials.

E10 is the standard (95 octane) regular petrol sold at all forecourts. It contains up to 10% renewable ethanol, a low carbon fuel that can be blended to reduce the amount of fossil fuel in petrol.

The government mandated in September 2021 the switch to E10 petrol to help reduce carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions associated with petrol vehicles. E10 fuel is already widely used around the world. 

E5 petrol contains up to 5% ethanol by volume and E10 contains up to 10% by volume. All Esso's Synergy fuels contain additives to help clean, protect and enhance your car's engine, however Esso's Synergy Supreme+ 99 E5 fuel contains a double dose of additive. Esso Synergy Supreme+ 99 contains up to 5% ethanol.

All petrol cars manufactured after 2011 can use E10. If you are unsure you can check using the government E10 compatibility checker , which covers cars, motorbikes and mopeds. If your specific vehicle is not listed, consult your manual, or contact your vehicle manufacturer. If in doubt, the government’s recommendation is to continue using E5 petrol (Esso Synergy Supreme+ 99).

Check the government's E10 compatibility checker to be sure, but it is expected that a number of older cars, classic cars and some mopeds are incompatible with E10 petrol. If in doubt use the E5 grade, Esso Synergy Supreme+ 99 which is available at most sites.

Esso Synergy Supreme+ 99 which is E5 is unchanged and available at most Esso service stations despite E10 being introduced.

Yes you can, Esso Synergy Supreme⁺ 99 is available at most Esso sites, please check here for availability.

Yes, E10 petrol is still available at all of our sites, and E5 Esso Synergy Supreme⁺ 99 remains available at most Esso service stations despite E10 being introduced - please check here for availability.

All fuels are clearly labelled at the pump and on the nozzle you'll see E5 or E10 clearly shown.

If your vehicle is compatible with E10 petrol it is perfectly safe to use E5 or E10 fuel, and to use a different fuel subsequently, e.g. if you use E5 on one fill and then E10 on the next.

Using a single tank of E10 petrol in a vehicle that is not compatible should not be a major problem. Just make sure you fill up with E5 petrol next time. Unlike putting petrol into a diesel engine, you shouldn’t need to drain the tank, see https://www.gov.uk/guidance/e10-petrol-explained for details.

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/e10-petrol-explained

Some other petrol-powered equipment may not be compatible with E10 petrol including boats, petrol-powered garden equipment or machinery, such as lawnmowers and chainsaws. Owners and operators should check their manual or ask the manufacturer or dealer before using E10. If in doubt, the government’s recommendation is to continue using E5 petrol (Esso Synergy Supreme+ 99).

From September 2023 our Synergy Supreme * 99 transitioned to contain up to a maximum of 5% ethanol at all Esso pumps irrespective of which part of the country they are located. The labelling at our pumps will remain as E5 for Synergy Supreme * 99 unleaded.

The octane rating of petrol is a measure of its resistance to knock, with higher octanes more resistant to knock. Petrol engines work by compressing air and fuel, then igniting the mixture with a spark. Certain engine conditions can cause all or part of the mixture to ignite on its own without the spark, creating what’s called “knock” in your engine. Fuels can be blended to meet different octane ratings at the refinery or fuel terminal.

The majority of today’s petrol vehicles are designed to run on regular octane fuel (95). However, using higher octane fuel than the minimum required can benefit fuel economy, power and acceleration even in vehicles calling for regular fuel. Engine design features like higher compression ratios and forced air induction (e.g. turbochargers or superchargers) can make engines more responsive to octane. The benefits achievable with higher octane depend not only on hardware design but also on the car’s calibration and the user’s driving style.

Our Synergy regular petrol has 95 octane, while our Synergy Supreme+ 99 is a 99 octane petrol.

Our Supreme⁺99 formulation actually now contains more than 2x the detergent molecules of our regular unleaded grade.  The cleaning benefits of fuels are not directly correlated with the concentration of cleaning molecules in the fuel.  Testing shows our new Esso Synergy Supreme⁺ 99 unleaded formulation helps keep your engine 3x cleaner than Esso Synergy Unleaded 95 and Esso Synergy ™ technology now also features three distinct detergent ingredients.  Esso Supreme⁺ 99 protects your engine against deposits, corrosion and wear.*

Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% renewable diesel is the new name for Esso Supreme 25% Renewable Diesel. Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% Renewable Diesel is a high quality diesel fuel made with a minimum of 25% premium renewable content - hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO). The HVO we use is made from used cooking oil that is refined into a high quality fuel component and blended with conventional diesel and our proprietary Esso Synergy additive. It is intended for use in the same applications as conventional diesel. Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% Renewable Diesel has 15% lower life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than our regular diesel ⁽¹⁾.

Esso plans to play a leading role in the energy transition by providing products to help customers reduce their emissions. Research also shows growing customer demand for lower GHG emission fuels, and so we are choosing to trial an alternative premium diesel containing Synergy additive. This alternative diesel offers the same great protection as our regular diesel, but also provides potentially lower life cycle greenhouse gas emissions. By trialling Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% Renewable Diesel we are offering customers an additional choice for their fuelling options that requires no change to their vehicle – it’s an immediate ‘drop-in’ solution.

The product is available at 35 stations in South East England. Check availability here: https://www.esso.co.uk/en-gb/find-station/

We will continue to explore opportunities to expand the network further and will announce new sites as and when the product becomes available in them https://www.esso.co.uk/en-gb/find-station/

Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% Renewable Diesel is a drop-in replacement for conventional diesel that meets EN590 specification requirements and is suitable for all diesel engines. Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% Renewable Diesel does not contain fatty acid methyl ester (FAME).

Renewable fuels are produced from a renewable energy source. Examples are fuels made from biomass such as wood or crop waste, from oil extracted from plants, or from previously used materials (such as used cooking oil, or animal fats). In the case of renewable diesel, those renewable energy sources are carefully refined to become a high quality fuel component.

Esso Ethos™ Renewable Diesel is our branded renewable diesel product. Renewable Diesel is a recognized term for what is often referred to HVO or HVO100 (shorthand for hydrotreated vegetable oil). “Ethos” reflects our belief that our renewable diesel product solution is an important forward-looking addition to our diesel portfolio, combining the quality and performance of Esso’s diesel heritage with the added potential for lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions reduction.
The latest addition to our diesel family is formulated with a minimum of 25% Esso Ethos™ Renewable Diesel. The renewable content helps reduce the life cycle GHG emissions by 15% when compared to our regular diesel ⁽¹⁾. The “+” in Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% Renewable Diesel refers to the formulation of this product with our Esso Synergy additive technology. Esso Ethos⁺™ offers the same great protection and cleaning power as our regular diesel to protect your engine.

We use the methodology outlined in the amended Renewable Transport Fuel Obligations Order 2007 (SI 2007/3072) as amended (“RTFO”), which includes contributions from N₂O and CH₄, expressed in CO₂ equivalents (CO₂e). The life cycle GHG saving from biofuels and bio liquids (e.g. HVO) is calculated by comparing the carbon intensity of the HVO fuel with a fossil fuel comparator, using RTFO default values for the renewable and fossil fuel comparators. In this case, the expected life cycle GHG emission saving of 15.2% for Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% Renewable Diesel containing 25% HVO was calculated against the equivalent figure for regular diesel containing up to 7% fatty acid methyl ester (FAME).

GHG saving of biofuels & bio liquids = (E(F) – E(B) )/E(F)
E(F) = total emissions from the fossil fuel comparator
E(B) = total emissions from the biofuel or bio liquid
E(B) = E(HVO)

Life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions calculations consider all emissions associated with the fuel, including the extraction or sourcing of the raw materials, its production, distribution and use. Lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions are also often referred to as the carbon intensity (CI) of fuel. Such a calculation provides a useful way of comparing the GHG emission benefits of different products, helping customers better understand the choices they are making based on the full impact of that product.
In the case of biofuels, life cycle GHG emissions will also include the emissions associated with cultivating, and harvesting the feedstocks used to make them. GHG emissions include carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (NOx).
Renewable fuels have lower life cycle GHG emissions than their conventional counterparts because the carbon in those fuels comes from a renewable energy source (for example biomass, oil extracted from plants, or used cooking oil). In those cases, the carbon from those sources has been drawn from the atmosphere to feed the plant’s growth, and when the fuel is burned, that carbon is returned to the atmosphere without a net increase in atmospheric carbon. The important thing to remember is that it’s across the overall life cycle that the environmental impacts of biofuels are compared to conventional fuels, not at the vehicle exhaust emissions at the end of the chain.

Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% Renewable Diesel has 15% lower life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than our regular diesel ⁽¹⁾. Calculations indicate that every 50 litres of Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% Renewable Diesel used would, on average emit 133.7 kg of GHG emissions (expressed in CO₂ equivalents, or CO₂e) over the total lifecycle of that product. This compares with 50 litres of Esso Synergy regular diesel (B7), which would emit 159.1 kg CO₂e over its total lifecycle.

Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% Renewable Diesel is a high quality diesel fuel, which includes a premium renewable ingredient to help deliver 15% lower life cycle greenhouse gas emissions ⁽¹⁾ when compared to our regular diesel. It is formulated with care to ensure that it delivers the same great protection and cleaning power for your engine. It is a drop-in fuel, meaning it is suitable for use in all diesel engines marked as compatible with B7 fuel – simply drive your diesel vehicle to one of the 20 service stations taking part in the trial and fill-up with Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% Renewable Diesel.

Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% Renewable Diesel meets BS EN590 specifications, the same as both regular and premium conventional diesels. It is called a ‘drop-in’ fuel as it is suitable for all diesel engines, and can be used interchangeably with regular or premium diesel.

Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% Renewable Diesel meets the BS EN590 specifications and works in all diesel engines marked as compatible with B7 fuel. It can be used interchangeably with other diesel fuels, and does not require any engine modification. It will not impact the warranty of a vehicle engine marked as compatible with B7 fuel.

Pure HVO contains approximately 4-5% less energy per litre than conventional diesel, though this impact is diluted for blends of HVO. Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% Renewable Diesel contains a minimum of 25% HVO, blended with conventional diesel and our proprietary Esso Synergy additive. It meets all BS EN590 fuel specifications. We therefore expect minimal impact to fuel economy.

B7 labelling means that Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% Renewable Diesel can be used in engines marked as compatible with B7 fuel.

Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% Renewable Diesel contains our proprietary Synergy additive, designed to help clean vital parts of your engine, including your car’s fuel injectors. A cleaner engine means better performance.

Yes, this product contains our Esso Synergy additive. The Esso Synergy additive in Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% Renewable Diesel provides the same great protection and cleaning power as the additive in our regular diesel to protect your engine.

Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) is a renewable fuel that can be made from a variety of feedstocks including vegetable and animal oils and fats, or residue feedstocks (such as used cooking oil). It is carefully refined to become a high quality fuel component regardless of the original feedstock.

Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% Renewable Diesel does not contain palm oil. To supply the HVO used in Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% Renewable Diesel, we purchase independently verified, RTFO compliant, waste and residue feedstock, such as waste or used cooking oil (UCO).

Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% Renewable Diesel has all the great advantages that our customers have come to expect from high quality Esso fuels, but with the added benefit of 15% lower life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared with our regular diesel⁽¹⁾. However, it does cost more to manufacture because the renewable component of the diesel – the HVO - costs more than conventional diesel.

The petrol station owners who run Esso branded forecourts set their own prices for this product, however the HVO blend components of Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% Renewable Diesel cost more than normal diesel so this product does cost more than regular diesel to manufacture. Consumers can therefore expect to pay a little more per litre for the renewable benefits of this fuel compared to conventional diesel.

Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% Renewable Diesel provides Retail customers with lower life cycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to our regular diesel(1), but with the same great protection. We think customers will be delighted with this new premium fuel, however we continue to sell Esso Supreme+ Diesel at most other Esso service stations. To find an Esso station providing Esso Supreme+ Diesel, please visit https://www.esso.co.uk/en-gb/find-station/ 

Esso Ethos⁺™ 25% Renewable Diesel is available across 35 sites in South East England. Please visit https://www.esso.co.uk/en-gb/find-station/ to find your nearest station.

Once you have downloaded the app, you need to register, confirm your payment method and add your Nectar card number (if you have one). The app is then ready to use. Just drive up to the pump, and from within your vehicle, open the Esso app. Then simply select your pump number, approve the payment, get out and start fuelling. Once you replace the nozzle, the payment is taken automatically, so you don’t need to go inside to pay. Your receipt will be stored in the app and can be sent via email to you (an optional setting). This will show the amount you have been charged and any Nectar points you’ve earned.

You can use the “Find Esso Stations” option at the bottom of the app home screen to find your closest mobile-enabled site or check the Esso website. You will need to give permission for the app to access your location so it can search for sites near you and provide driving directions. The app is being rolled out to new sites all the time, so check there to see your nearest site.

Yes, but only for mobile payments. Please use the Esso App when you are inside your vehicle and parked at the pump and do not use your phone when you are dispensing fuel or walking on the forecourt, as this could be distracting.

You may have noticed a square type of barcode near the pump – this is called a QR code. If you have given the app permission to use location services during the registration process, then you shouldn’t need to scan this QR code. When you arrive at a participating Esso branded service station, the app will locate you and you can simply select your pump number. If your location cannot be identified because you haven’t provided location permission or there is interference, then the app will direct you to scan the QR code with your phone’s camera. You do not need to have a separate QR code reader app.

Setting up the app is simple and should only take you a couple of minutes. Download the app from the app store, provide a few details and set up Apple Pay or PayPal if you haven’t already. It is then possible to use the app straight away, but we recommend completing the registration process before you travel to an Esso site.

We recommend that you either leave your phone in the vehicle or put it in your pocket or bag. Please do not use your phone whilst you are dispensing fuel as this could be distracting.

The app needs a 3G, 4G or Wifi signal. If you don’t have a good signal, then please pay with a card or cash in the shop.

When you return the nozzle after fuelling, the till system in the shop connects to the cloud server and confirms the amount of fuel dispensed and the value of the transaction. When you check your phone, you’ll see a transaction confirmation screen which has matching values to what you see on the pump so you know the right amount has been taken.

If you realize you’ve made a wrong selection before you start fuelling, just tap on cancel in the app and you can then start over. If you authorise someone else’s pump and they have started fuelling then please advise the site staff immediately. Please carefully check your pump number is correct before using TouchID or a passcode to authorise the payment.

When you first register with the app and each time before you fuel you can set an amount to be reserved in your account which should be the maximum value you want to spend. This will reserve funds from your account according to the value you select, which can be between £5 and £140. You don’t have to dispense the exact value of fuel you selected, but you cannot dispense more than the selected amount. The pump may slow down or stop as you approach the amount you selected (£1 or £2 before, depending on the pump type). You will only be charged for the amount of fuel you actually take.

Yes, you can use the app while parked at the pump. Please place your phone in your pocket and do not use it whilst you are fuelling.

Not yet, but we will be rolling out additional services for the app in the future.

What you have experienced is most likely a transaction hold on your account. When you commit to a fuel purchase using the Esso App by clicking on the Pay button, your bank is automatically advised that a fuel transaction is about to begin. Your bank then places a hold on your account according to the level of pre-authorization you have in place.
At no stage in the transaction does Esso have any hold on or access to your account or funds – we simply advise your bank when the transaction begins, and confirm when it is complete, we then provide the actual amount that should be paid.
The speed at which pre-authorisation amounts are removed is determined by the bank or Credit Card Company. In most cases, banks debit the account and remove the pre-authorisation straightaway, but with some providers this can take longer. Where there is a delay, this is often cleared with 2 days, however in some instances we aware that providers have taken much longer. If you are being inconvenienced by this delay, we suggest reducing your maximum fuelling amount to a similar value as you are likely to fill, meaning only the value close to what you have actually spent is being held by your bank or credit card provider.
Please contact customer service for your bank issuer if you have any other questions on this matter.
