Coryton Launches Sustainable Petrol Range for Classic Cars
Bespoke and blended fuel specialist, Coryton, has launched the UK’s first publicly available sustainable petrol range, aimed at the classic car market. The Sustain Classic range blends petrol with a biofuel made from agricultural waste that wouldn’t be suitable for consumption. The range includes three types: Super 80, Super 33, and Racing 50. The Super varieties are at 98RON, the same as super unleaded, and the Racing variety at 120RON. Coryton says its fuels are suitable for any petrol vehicle but are particularly tailored for classic vehicles, as they all have a bioethanol content of less than 1%, unlike regular unleaded (E10), which is 10% bioethanol and often unsuitable for older cars.
Reducing Greenhouse Gases
Coryton claims that its Super 80 fuel, which has the highest biofuel content, can reduce greenhouse gases by at least 65% compared to regular petrol. The company’s business development director, David Richardson, said that the availability of true fossil-free fuel components is limited. Therefore, they are producing fuels that have a meaningful impact while meeting the demands of the user. While they could use mass-balancing techniques to certify this fuel as 100%, they believe that it’s important to be open about technology readiness and traceability. Richardson added that the industry will get there with the right support, which is why they think it’s important to start getting these products into the hands of consumers so they can see how easy and effective the switch could be.
Pricing and Availability
The fuels are being sold from today by Motor Spirit at Bicester Heritage, with other retailers to be announced in the coming months. The Super 33 costs from £3.80 a litre, Super 80 from £4.65 a litre and Racing 50 from £5.24 a litre.
Autocar will try the fuel and interview Coryton representatives later this week.
