OZ930 Posted 27June, 2018 Report Share Posted 27June, 2018 I "experimented " with this in the wife's Corolla, which is supposedly designed for it, at found a large descrepecy in miles (woops....kilometres) travelled per tank as well as power available. Even the wife noticed the difference, without me telling her, and filled up with "the good stuff", as she put it....BP98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobbo Posted 27June, 2018 Report Share Posted 27June, 2018 If my memory serves me well prime minister John Howard started all this and it so happened his brother ran Milandra who benefited from the use of ethanol in fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a sop to the nationals for the cane farming base? Either way it's a terrible idea. Sell E85 for people who want it and leave the rest alone.

Raven Posted 27June, 2018 Report Share Posted 27June, 2018 We have been well an truly screwed hard here in NSW for a number years now all for the claimed benefit of the environment ...........The big issue that has every one angry is the large difference in price between E10 and 98 my local for E10 Today was $1.43 liter and $1.58 for 98 ,,,a lot of people really doing it tough due to the out off control cost of living ,and the excessive toll costs to use Sydney,s crap roads ,this 15 c and sometimes as much as 20 c difference forces those struggling to use E10 ...........Last week our state government gave it self a pat on back for being 3.2 billion in surplus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerosine - when I was a kid working at the local BP service station (many years ago) people used to come in and fill up on much cheaper kero, from the pump, before they returned their rental cars. I thought they were cheap asses; but they were probably trying to "get even" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point I was making was the price gap ,,,,,,,,,there should not be 15 c to 20 c price difference ,,this is clearly done to make E10 more attractive to the consumer ,,,even though we all aware of its short falls ..What is the price difference at your local servo ...?

No E10. It hasn't caught on down here. As you know we are 15-20 years behind any trend. Beats me why people are fighting to live down here.

Now, now Tazzie, there’ll be no deflecting the 250,000 extra souls we’ll be sending you from the mainland, they can’t stay here, we’re full if you follow the media hype.

tazzieman Posted 27June, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 27June, 2018 You realise there is no David Jones or Lambo dealer (not even Maserati) and you have to service your own Porsche. You can't even buy chihuahuas. It's pretty backward. Roads are good though , until you meet a tourist. Lots of them around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
