Not very credible. Surely if retailers wanted to run down their stocks of E5, they'd have done that in August, ready for the 1st September switchover?

Though I don't understand the need to run down the tanks at all. Petrol labelled E10 is up to 10% ethanol, so couldn't they sell E5, or an E5/E10 mix, and label it as E10? I filled up in late August and the pump was already labelled E10.
