One observation. The excuse for the price of petrol going through the roof is that it is based on the international price of oil.

E85 is mostly domestic alcohol so the price at best should only go up 15% of that of petrol rather than 150%.

In Adelaide United E85 stays at 20c per litre below the base unleaded price.

E85 needs to be priced at about a 25% discount to PULP due to it's lower energy content / higher usage. Keeping it a 'fixed' discount to PULP is crap.
