Gov Phasing Out Unleaded Fuel?

[FrangaR33]

Isn't it funny, per capita Australia is actually fatter then America.

And how about this for weight loss, they just ban fuel for cars altogether. That way we can all catch public transport, walk or ride bikes.

Helping the environment and fat people... (Yes, that was sarcasm)

Right... So we're going to double the cost of living now as well?

God you people are smart...

I still thought the yanks we're fatter, last time I checked they were still slighter fatter but not by much roughly 3-4% more. It was only a stereo type joke anyway I know we are right behind them in the obesity race, nearly 70% of Aussies are overweight or obese.

Do some reading on how much land mass is required to support australias demand for ethanol if we used e85 etc as our main fuel.

Think about how little we use already and how much waste crop it is costing to produce...

Exactly its not possible for Australia to be self suffecient with Ethanol, not if we still want to be self suffecient with food. I completely agree that we should use more of the agricultrual byproduct for ethanol and considering the governments current stance on green technology they probably will.

There are several techonologies currently being used and trialed world wide that is used to convert non arable land to land that could at least be used for farming something. Perhaps even ethanol, it would be nice to have our own self suffecient fuel supply especially as fuel effeciency in cars improves.

Yeah.. BP does e10 only already I believe.. I wont miss it! also ..Caltex has mentioned it may also sell e85 at selected stations (like v power racing back awhile) which is quite interesting!

BP still sells 98 OC i fill it up all the time. I more scared if they phase out unleaded fuel that some morons may decide to make their own ethanol fuel and it kills our engines
