Toy_Boy Occasional Poster Location: Cabramatta Registered: November 2002	Re: Boycott Ethanol Outlets Tue, 24 December 2002 12:34 Dear BR1183, I dont have a grudge against the arbitrary 10% mix of ethanol recommended by various organisations. I just feel rorted when scrupulous independent petrol stations in Sydney go over this limit, ie 20% mix, thus increasing the chance of all the associated problems since Australian cars are not tuned to accept this level. What incenses me further is the Federal Government not taking any actions that are being lobbied from genuine interest groups, such as the NRMA. Furthermore, it looks blantantly obvious that they are doing this in favour of a major Liberal Party donor, which holds a virtual monopoly in ethanol production. It's also interesting to note that the Woolworth's Petrol station in Liverpool has now put up a sign indicating that their petrol no longer has any ethanol mixed in it ever since this ethanol debate began. Is it too much to ask to arbitrarily cap the mix to 10% and to also indicate whether ethanol is mixed for consumers to make a more informed choice when filling up? Until a legislation like this is enacted, consumers would be better off safe than sorry to boycott independent petrol stations that make no indication of the ethanol mix (if any).
