    was reading in the paper about this, they were talking to the owner and she said shell tried to buy her out, when she said no they opened a servo 500m up the road, and are opening another further down the road

    I was reading a commodores magazine the other week and they did a big write up on E85

    apparantly the main problem with ethanol is what it does to alloy, more so then rubber.

    However all the rubber parts can be replaed with ones designed for ethanol first, and the alloy can be treated.

    I think i'll go for the liqud gas injection as soon as I can afford it. I do 20k per 6 months, thats 40k plus a year i'll be saving around 4.8k a year and i'll still be able to run a turbo :P in fact it should work really well with gas :P

    And our engines have alloy.

    On my fuel watch fuel was cheap today, So I'm expecting cheap fuel Tuesday.

    I herd the fuel guy from the ACCC tooth less tiger has come out and said something about fuel. And they expect fuel to drop. Why because he will suck them without teeth?.

    well its one of the hottest topics of the time, things will change, they always do.





    These things have a way of balancing out, as we migrate from petrol to other fuel or power sources, the prices drop, we continue to migrate and eventually the power shifts to a new group who will hold the market, untill they get greedy and so on.
