Testa107 Member 6 Member For: 11y 7m 23d Gender: Male Location: South Coast Posted 27/06/13 11:33 PM Share Posted 27/06/13 11:33 PM I have been talking with the manager of United at Cringila and he said if there was enough demand for E85 in Wollongong he would sell it no worries.Very helpful guy but of course the demand needs to be there for it to be worth it to him, only so many storage tanks.I know I don't enjoy having to go 80 kms to buy it, so how many other people are there in the Wollongong area that would use it?Please let me know so we can possibly get the ball rolling. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there would be enough interest in Wollongong to make it fees able, need to spread the word on other car forums not just xr6T's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testa107 Member 6 Member For: 11y 7m 23d Gender: Male Location: South Coast Posted 01/07/13 12:59 AM Author Share Posted 01/07/13 12:59 AM I'm sure E85 will become more popular in the future as we learn more about the benefits of it, specially so with turbo and hi-spec engines. The myths are being shown to be just myths, the doomsday nay-sayers will be too busy stocking up their bunkers to investigate the real potential. Many cars have been running on this fuel for a long time now, they are still going great. Eventually it will be available here but the sooner the better for us, I've been spreading the word and hope you guys can to. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rydalmere Caltex had Eflex for about a year, recently they got rid of Eflex, which is a bummer but shows they will pull it if its not selling.

There should be more information and promotion of it around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
