Oh well, I'll be replacing the Hackaroo with a turbo diesel of some
sort anyway...

phased-out-in-2011/>

Many motorists are still unaware that 91 RON unleaded petrol is to be
phased out in NSW by 1 July 2011. Its place will be taken by the
existing E10 ethanol blend.

In February 2007, the State Government made several commitments “to
promote renewable biofuels in New South Wales.” Part of that
commitment was to introduce an E10 mandate, which implies that all
regular unleaded petrol sold in NSW from 1 July 2011 will contain 10%
ethanol – specifically, from that date, “a primary wholesaler must not
sell regular unleaded petrol unless the petrol is E10.”

Many service stations across the state are already not selling 91 RON.
Before using E10, vehicle owners must check if an ethanol blend is
suitable for their vehicle – this information can be found in the
owner’s manual, by contacting NRMA Motoring Advice or on the Federal
Chamber of Automotive Industries website.

For cars that cannot use E10, premium-grade unleaded petrol will
continue to be available.

So the Government worked out how to more heavily tax ethanol then?

Correct
and if you are a boat owner you will now also be forced to use the 12cpl
more premium unless the engine manufacturer states it's ok to use E10

I still wouldn't use the stuff in my boat due to the condensation
problems associated with a marine environment

one thing I do know for sure is the Johnson/Evenrude fuel line isn't
compatible, the inner lining dissolves in Ethanol and falls away
blocking the fuel lines, filter and pump

on top of that my engine isn't really designed to run on high octane
fuel, the book recommends it be run on regular not super fuel

I've been using PULP in my 30yr old 85hp Blue Band Mercury outboard for
years without problems, I usually use less than 20lts each time I go out
so the extra cost is not an issue.
