For eg, you can get a chip for the good ol Ford inline 6 and run on E85, can be done right now. Makes a difference, Aussie crops/sugar cane, Aussie farmers and Ethanol plants
Remember when E85 was 20-30cpl cheaper than 98?

Now it's consistently $1.85/L - 20-30cpl higher than 98.

Given you use 30% more by volume unless the availability increases and manufacturers started supporting flex fuel applications by government legislation then it's banished to enthusiast performance application only.

The moment Caltex pulled out of it, United jacked the price up massively.

Remember when we had an industry around LPG?
