I can live with the 2nd, but if ULP is taken off the market completely I will be majorly pissed off, as I have a motorbike and a lawnmower that cannot use E10 (I've already had to pay for repair of damage caused by E10), and they do not run well on PULP. > > OilCos have been gearing up for it for Months, converting servos to E10 > only sites, Shell has 10 in Brisbane alone > > It's not new news at all. it was a stunt to prop up the Sugar and grain > industry > > Oh and to make the Govt look green > > Kev -- What is the difference between a duck?

I thought that was a Howard Government initiative, which may or not have been duplicated by state GovCo's wanting to look equally green. But, think about it! The federal ethanol subsidy ends in June 2011, which will effectively increase the price of the ethanol component by at least 42cpl (current subsidy plus GST). How would they be about to achieve the minimum ethanol requirement if 91 ULP is sold alongside it at a lower price, or 95 PULP for a similar price? It's pretty obvious in the places I go that the phasing out of both is well advanced and will no doubt be complete well before July 2011. -- John H

I've used PULP in an old outboard without problems, I've also used it in lawnmowers, chainsaws and leaf blowers without a problem so to me it seems odd that it cause something to not run well. Daryl |
