The big problem E10 has is less in Kms per litre than regular fuel by at less 10%.

The excise is not on ethenol so we can save 4 cent a litre. What about the 10% loss then the adjusted value should be eg. $1.50 would be 15 cents which when added to the 4cents would make E10 19 cent less than regular.

So you are all being rip off by both Fuel company and Government.

Now polution if the air quality of E10 is 120g they forget to add the extra 10% on which makes 132g making it not so green.

Have a good day

Hi John
If the E10 ethanol law came in it just means that You need to use Premium 98 or 95 fuel that does NOT contain Ethanol..
E98 is an excellent fuel as it has additives that clean Your fuel system.
Only problem is the cost.. I filled up today will 98 and it cost $65 to fill a Suzuki swift with a 40 litre tank. The fuel was $1-61 a litre compared to $1-45 for E10.
My restored 1968 VW beetle loses about 40% of power running ethanol, so its 98 for it too.. Many older service stations still sell NON ethanol fuel as the pumps would probably need replacing which could mean a lot of private service stations would close down because of the costs.

cheers
