It would be better if they left 98 ethanol free so you could pay the premium if you don't want ethanol and made e85 readily available, at the moment it's over 20km to the nearest one not worth the hassle converting my F6 to it.

I didn't say anything about replacing 91 with E85, I said bring it to every station. E10 probably isn't worth it over normal 91, but anyway cars these days and in the last 5 or so years don't like 91 either, so whats the point, replace 91 with 95. Anyone here with WS Fiestas like myself and anyone with a Japanese car from the 90s to now will also know how crap they run on 91 compared to 95/98. |

Other than uniteds high octane e10, isn't every other e10 equivalent to 95, not 91?

so how many had U/L cars in 86 do you think? petrol powered cars same question, how many can take E10? lawnmower/line trimmers is a different question as 90% of them use alloy carbs.

Theres a difference between a car running on E10, and a car running properly on E10 without rusting out the steel tank, fuel lines, and breaking down rubber fuel hoses and gaskets.

personally I can't see what the who hares about.
NSW had E10 mandated since Moses started popping tablets, don't buy it if you don't like it simple. everybody "does" have a choice.

One of mine does. And thats enough reason for me to be massively ****ed.
I think my gripe is being misunderstood. I dont care what you yuppies do, all I want is to continue to pay $1.75 a litre for 98 octane that doesnt have ethanol in it. Last edited by Jack91; 06-04-2014 at 07:24 PM. |

Sure that's not got more to do with cars going to the scrap heap and being written off at all? I don't have enough fingers and toes to count how many pre 86 cars I know running on unleaded, or even *SHOCK* LPG. Also... comparing racing vehicles to everyday cars is redundant. The duress those vehicles deal with on a track day alone vs what an everyday car endures over a lifetime is a significant difference. It's a bit like comparing the amount of characters killed off in Game of Thrones, with the amount of characters killed off in Harry Potter and attempting to draw similarities between the two.

Maybe not. But will they too be ethanol blends? Of course they will, because people are predictable. In the same way that this will come in in QLD, its also obvious that it will come in in Victoria, and its obvious that 95 and 98 will be topped up with ethanol

Making the other pumps contain ethanol without indication of the change and displaying the different fuel goes against consumer law. So if you're worried that they'll be slipping ethanol into our premium then you're probably wrong.

Not that every servo has to replace LPG, Diesel, 91, 95 and 98 with E85. Just make it mandatory to have at least 1 E85 pump. Plenty of Commodores getting around which will happily run on E85. |

water from the hygroscopic effect of ethanol in fuel, which comes from the air inside your fuel tank as it empties turns into formic acid when burnt inside your cylinders. but hey wed have a lot more car buyers if you had to replace your engines every few years from ****** fuel at bowsers and from the idle times your car sits or drives around without a full tank.

true, but my BA GT will be the 3rd car i will have to modify from new due to mandatory changes in fuel type. i guess the gment will have more than their fair share out of me before i kick the bucket. yet there are those that insist i must change for the sake of change....

you'll find it mandatory to sell E10 but not all pumps will be E10. you have boats and other pleasure craft up their as well as lawn maintenance devices.
