but is the e85 from united and caltex actual e85?

i was reading on another forum that in winter its e70 and summer its e85 .. all depemds on weather and how long its been in the tank etc

but theres a fuel you can buy in a can vpw or something? thats 100% e85?

that ethanol display unit looks awesome i might get one when i go the upgrade

There is a whole thread about this in the FP section.

as said, 1000 people requesting e85 won't do squat. maybe if you were all in the one area and were going to all go to the one servo then maybe you could convince that servo to get e85, but to get them to put it in hundreds or thousands of servos to serve a handful of customers at each servo, the fuel would be stale before they had to order more.

you also have to remember that while a lot of new cars, such as the new commodores, will run on e85, the majority of owners are too scared to put it in their cars. a mate of mine just bought a new v8 commodore ute. i saw the e85 badge on the back and said something to him about it and he started going on about how he'd never put it in his car and how bad it is, etc. all the crap that the general public has heard through the rumour mills over the years.

long story short, this will have about as much effect as the emails that go around telling people not to buy fuel for a few days because it will send the fuel companies broke and make them lower their prices......

In regards to shell 100octane, would it be 1% due to the higher price in comparison to 98?

And what would the price of e85 be against these?

There is only 1 shell servo left in Penrith.

It's allllllll the way at the other end, so I don't frequent it.

The bps here are always over priced.

There are plenty of caltexs, prices are ok.

But now 7/11 have bought out Mobil, there are quite a few around.

I wonder what their take on e85 would be?

Is just like one servo in each suburb to supply it.

Doesn't have to be all of them.

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
