E85 in Australia next year
November 5th, 2007
An AutoblogGreen reader from Down Under has let us know that E85 fuel will most likely finally be available in Australia next year. A specific date isn’t set, but United Petroleum seems set to sell the ethanol-petrol blend in “early 2008″ at the price of about $1AUS per liter, starting around Melbourne and Sydney.
The ethanol-pusher in this case was Saab, which has been selling an E85-capable 9-5 in Australis for $1,000 more than the standard version, without any E85 available for people to put into the tank.
