Yes currently there are only 3 sites that manufacture Ethanol in Australia 2 in Queensland and 1 in NSW, im very interested to see where this is going!! supply and demand and what effect this will have on future PRICING.... food for thought hopefully as consumers it will be in our favour, corporate greed on the other hand will no doubt have an effect on this in the future......but for now lap it up guys and gals

My car is tuned on eflex and I have used moorebank, casula and tempe with no issues at all, car runs and drives fine. It was tuned 8 months ago and still runs as good as the day it was tuned. Also counted how many cranks it takes to start and 3 was all it needed.

Just went away to Nelson bay for the weekend (from Sydney) drove up there around there and back on E85 and returned 13,1's so pretty happy about that!

Total k's driven were around 480.

Just some FYI

Wont say I hate E85 as hates a big word lol. Yes it produces good power with a good tune and yes I was a phonecall away from booking mine in to get done,but after driving a 430kw E85 tuned car,its not for me. Yes the power and response is bloody great,but that's not what its all about to everyone. Dont know what sought of E85 or Eflex everybody is running,but this car stinks when driving with the window down. So summer days with the Fam in the car are going to end up with complaints about the smell for me. Maybe a E85 tune for the drags and 98 for everyday,but couldnt drive on it everyday. So along with the cracking hoses,the diluting of the engine oil,the excessive condensation,the "possible" hidden effects on engines and fuel systems,the longer cold starts and the stink...it can stay in the bowsers and not in my car. Power isnt everything to me.

the hunt for power always has side effects and sweet for u to make a call that its not right for u, but for all of the so called disadvantages theres ways around it and because we have the ability to flick tunes its always such a winner for the drag days or hills runs, but u cant win em all sometimes

My heavy right foot netted me a whole 320kms on eflex.. lol

$1.10/L though, so its not too bad.

Another thing I noticed with this fuel is if I'm running 1 standard blow off valve (I usually run 2... I know, I know!!) the car flutters with a stab of revs on the spot in the manual.

Fully sik bro!! ;)

I notice it makes boost sh*t loads sooner and easier too..seems like ya running a slightly smaller turbo but not at all at the same time :-/. I don't reckon it smells that bad.

Pros outweigh the cons IMO.
