Default E85 Northern rivers NSW

Hi all,
Looking to find E85 in Northern Rivers area NSW.
Closest I can find is united at Tweed Heads.
Also does anyone buy it in bulk?
Many thank,
Ps search bar doesn't work

You could check United Lismore. I cant remember seeing any other United around but its been 2.5 years since I ve been down in the NR due to covid restrictions.
Maybe theres one at Ballina and I m sure Grafton is big enough.

Hi yes I rang United lismore and Grafton Tweed is suppose to have it but not showing on petrol finder, and thier phone number goes to a engineering company.
Guess I'll just tune for 98

I was buying it in Lismore until I started getting issues when starting the engine. Switched to 95 and not only do I get an extra 100klms per tank (as estimated by the computer) but also running a lot better.

Surprised gaso hasn't been in here with this little gem :

fuelcheck.nsw.gov.au

According to that site, United Coffs have it at 179.9 atm. The next nearest is Charlotte Bay or (using Petrolspy.com.au) Merrimac in Qld.

Unless your car is specifically tuned for E85 I would expect your car to have issues!
