E85

[JustinP]

I was just wondering if anyone knows anything new in regards to the likelyhood / timeframe that Perth may get E85 being sold at the pump? My build will be complete in a few months and I would love to ge it tuned for E85. I'm not holding my breath however

Write a letter to Caltex, they're meant to be rolling it out Australia wide, but I wouldn't hold your breath WA gets everything last

WA has some regulations that need to be changed before we get E85 at the pump.

Thats not true, W.A was the first state to not get day light savings

[snozzle]

I herd there was a law inhibiting the use of E85 thats why it cant be distributed here

Its going to be a long time!

.....cries

Thanks for getting back to me so quick.

You can get it in 200L drums if you want, it just won't be sold at petrol stations for a while.

[JustinP]

Doesnt it cost about $2.50 a litre when you buy it that though, compared to about $1 at the pump?

If it was price comparable i would consider it!!

e85 doesnt pass some gay volatility test. all the other states have changed the laws to allow for it but WA hasnt.

also caltex has said that even if the law does change they have no plans at present to sell it here as it'd cost too much for them to transport it here

if your real keen maybe write a letter to your local MP about changing the law and see what they say

also the v8 supercar spec e85 is around $700 for 200L from filters elite. but its mixxed with race fuel instead of 91

even when it does get here on the pump, id be concerned about the consistency with the mix.

rpw sell it for around $550 a drum i think..
