  Is Castrol Valvemaster fuel additive still available? 24 Apr 2018 (News)
  .’ Fuel additives like Valvemaster were designed for use in classic vehicles that were made to run on leaded petrol – mostly cars built before 1992.

  Despite that, the new owners have failed to stem the tide of losses and are now looking to recoup £1.9bn. At present it costs £5.50 for a car to use the road during a weekday, or £11 for an HGV.

Road users and campaigners have suggested various ways of improving the M6, from scrapping the toll altogether (an obvious improvement for drivers), to restructuring the charges to a ‘pay per mile’-type system, similar to those used across Europe.
