Motorists will notice a new fuel blend pump at their petrol outlet in coming weeks - but they dare not use it in their car !
We are about to get Bio E-Flex fuel - which will be designated as E-85. This is a car fuel that will contain 85% ethanol - and consequently will have a massive drop in harmful emissions.
The soon to be released next model of the Holden Commodore will have a " flex: engine system that can use both normal petrol and E-85, and it is also suitable for some European built cars. It is expected that other manufacturers will quickly follow suit.
This is a natural progression from the presently available E-10 - a blend of ten percent ethanol - and we can expect that E-85 will be at a significantly lower price because of it's increased ethanol content.
But - don't break out the champagne just yet !
Remember when the government was pushing motorists to convert their cars to liquid petroleum gas ? It was heaps - and heaps - and heaps cheaper than petrol !
Look at the price of gas now !
And remember that the tax man never loses out in the long run !
