    also united apparently make their E85 from their own ethanol plant according to their website so this ought not affect them either, which is good as the closest servo to me with E85 is a united servo
    Sucrogen drums are available they are about $580 a drum

    Munildra (i think that's how its spelt ) is also available its about $380-400 a drum

    As for drums from caltex the sales manager I spoke to said at the moment drums are not available

    Aint gonna work.

    Caltex havent been smart with e-flex.
    I bet 99% of the people driving new Holden, Fords and other flex capable cars have no idea they can use the fuel and save $$s.
    A couple of TV ads would have fixed the problem.

    At least we still have E85 at the pump at United stations here in Adelaide.
    They are all north of the CBD though, and i live south

    Guess ill have to go back to looking at water injection setups
