That might be all the cars complaining about bad fuel when they added ethanol into it and hid it.. So do you think we will ever see 50-100% ethanol fuels in OZ?.
On a side note slightly of topic my brother and i both filled with BP ultimate fuel last week, Both of us have been using premium shell (him) Caltex (me) For a long time.. But decided to try BP's best.. For him it's working fast, For me i'm getting what seem to be best fuel economy ever.. 320km with almost half left
