Possibly a couple of cars from Taree coming could meet up with the Newcastle guys somewhere then cruise with you's to meet the rest

[Redline_GTR]

Sounds good Mitch

[Longz]

Is there any united e85 nearby ?

[XKLABA]

Is there any united e85 nearby ?

I asked that question and was quite rudely told to try google

To save the hassle for anyone else, no there is no E85 at singleton, it is BYO

I am taking 3 x 20l and a 10l Jerrys with me just in case as are a few others

[sammi_d]

Sorry guys, but looks like I won't be able to make it after all!!

My precious is off the road for the next few weeks..

[Redline_GTR]

From my previous visits I did not notice any E85 at the petrol stations.

They do though have a range of petrol stations including Shell, BP and Caltex.

Sorry to hear you will be missing this Sam.

Hopefully everything will be sorted out with the car quickly!

[BoySweeney]

Hey guys, count me in to meet up at the halfway point.

[NISMO]

[Redline_GTR]

bleh , was thinking of coming but maybe not , don't like the ideal of carrying so much petrol around guess there's always next time !

There's no E85 in Singleton itself but i imagine there would be somewhere close to the south end of the putty people could fill up at? Im not sure of the distance to singleton and back and how far a full tank gets you but maybe it would be enough up and back?

I'm absolutely spewing Chris!! Was looking forward to it too!!!

Ok for the E85 people here is the best info I could find.

Singleton does not have E85. The best options so far are:

Richmond Caltex which has EFlex and is 17.2km (17 minutes) from our start point or

United North Richmond which has E85 and is 13.3km (17 minutes) from our start point

A full tank of E85 gets me around 420km of day to day use but we'll probably burn a little more if we give them a (legal) squirt every now and then.

The cruise total length is approx 177km which means theoretically it's possibly to do this cruise on a single tank of E85. If you don't want to run the risk then 1 Jerry can of fuel SHOULD suffice. You could even organise with someone who is bringing jerry cans with them to bring one along for you and pay them for it if they are willing.

*All of these figures are approximations based on googles assessment of the route without taking into account traffic, enthusiastic driving etc, and my experience of E85 on my R34 gtt, and I will not be held accountable for anyone that runs out of fuel by using the above information*

I hope that will help clear any confusion. I plan to just do the cruise and chuck some 98 in if I'm desperate as I have a full flex fuel tune

I believe there is United E85 at Cessnock. So I am planning on filling up there so I can make it back home again after the cruise.

I did a search at that end but it said there was no United at Cessnock but that certainly doesn't mean there isn't one just that it's not online
