E10 was to be compulsary, with standard unleaded removed from sale but NSW premier did the right thing for motorists and fuel users and scrapped the idea back in early 2012
It didnt work here, hopefully doesnt work where you are matey
E10 is an option here now.
Premier bows to motorists on unleaded fuel
THE state government has caved in to criticism of its decision to ban regular unleaded petrol from July 1, a week after a cabinet leak revealed it had planned to proceed with the ban despite advice it would drive up petrol prices.
The Premier, Barry O'Farrell, announced last night that cabinet had agreed to dump the ban, under which regular unleaded was to be replaced by a 10 per cent ethanol blend, E10.
''Motorists already pay enough for petrol and I am not going to force people into buying more expensive premium petrol to run their cars,'' Mr O'Farrell said.
However, he insisted that the state's 6 per cent ethanol mandate - which the ban was designed to enforce - would remain in place, prompting BP Australia to warn that little was likely to change for motorists.
BP's director of government affairs, Richard Wise, said enforcing the mandate - under which petrol companies must ensure that 6 per cent of all fuel sold is ethanol - meant virtually all unleaded petrol in NSW would have to be sold as E10 regardless.
''It's a good first step but it still ignores the fundamentals of ethanol supply and demand in NSW,'' he said.
Last Monday the Herald revealed that up to 750,000 motorists would pay more than $150 a year extra as they would be forced to use premium fuel because their cars were incompatible with E10.
