I think E85 could be even more popular if the government would do something like a "no emissions defects" for vehicles locked to an E85 tune. Sadly it's just too logical, and police need to single out imports, when worn out telstars and tradie work vans spew pollution with impunity.

E85 should be treated the same as LPG imo, the EPA/vicroads don't seem to care at all as long as the fuel tank is inoperative. They aren't tuned well a majority of the time and are still a fossil fuel, releasing that deadly carbon locked in the earth we keep hearing about.

If they decide to Carbon tax e85 I will be really pissed. If only I had an endless supply of apples... :whistling:

I agree E85 cars should be treated as leniently as lpg or even more so. Per km E85 is carbon and other pollutant friendly. Hence the amazing lack of logic in harrassing an E85 vehicle, because it's an import., and over taxing E85. If sane governments want people to do the right thing, they should tax and harass it less.

About 6 months ago United advertised on their website in a big banner that they were gonna start rolling out E85 to most of their servos "soon"

That banner has now vanished without a trace. :/

Anyone know anything about this?

Also Sydney has 2 servos according to the website (both only 5 mins from each other on the same bloody road lol)

anyone know if there are any more out there? I'm assuming its not up to date?

They are popping up everywhere in Melbourne, perhaps that's where all the sales are? They will only pay the money to put pumps in if they know it will sell.

The more people going out of their way to fill on the current e85 pumps the better. :thumbsup:

Still bugger all E85 up this way (without a 25min drive to get it) so decided to bite the bullet and go full flex tune.... Expensive but worth it i guess!!

Ill send you a PM

my ethanol content sensor has been reading between 83-85% - i would think it's more accurate than a test kit, but i dunno.

I filled up at a new outlet in Scoresby yday, said they've only had it 1-2 months - so i'll get the laptop out and see if there's any difference between outlets.

Given i found a new E85 outlet, i thought i'd check the United website to see who else might be new.... check out Melbourne now!! Outlets are definitely growing!! Nice!!

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
