I wonder if the laws are different in Queensland than Victoria? Down here by law the servo has to put a label on the pump stating there is ethanol in the fuel. I know that Shell (Coles) do not have ethanol in their fuel, at least in Melbourne, and I would be surprised if they do it anywhere else. I know that some of the independents do sell ethanol-filled product, but again it is clearly labelled. There's no motivation for the discount servos to put ethanol in their fuel because they make up the lost revenue from the 4c dockets by marking up their prices in the grocery store.
