Holden, Caltex and the Victorian Government Create Alternative Fuel Consortium to Introduce E85 Fuel Network

The bio-fuel cars of tomorrow could be closer than we think with the Victorian government recently announcing the formation of a consortium including, Caltex, Holden, & Coskata. The group will investigate the viability of creating an ethanol production plant in Victoria. This plant could produce up to 200 million litres of ethanol annually for cars powered on the ethanol based bio-fuel E85. This alternative fuel consists of 85% ethanol and 15% regular petrol and has various positive effects on the environment.

If proven viable Coskata will provide the fuel processing plant, Caltex the fuelling stations and Holden the cars. Coskata has had success in the US but has been searching for local government funding in Australia since April 2009, claiming the banks where not interested until an existing plant was active and turning a profit. Luckily the Victorian government couldn’t wait to jump on board with Chief Marketing Officer Wes Bolsen describing the government’s interest as ‘very aggressive’.

GM has worked with Coskata producing ethanol in the US, so naturally Holden was the first option in for partnership. Holden are taking a leadership role in the bio-fuel movement with E85 compatible cars set to be released by the end of the year. Caltex has already ventured into the bio-fuel market with E10. They now plan to make 30 E85 pumps available by July this year with a further 100 available by mid 2011.

Last year the Chief Marketing Officer of Coskata Wes Bolsen had a vision.

“What we're looking at, in Australia, is a true partnership -- coming together -- between government, automaker & flexible technology ….”

Looks like Bolsen doesn’t waste any time, with his vision set to bear fruits in the coming months.

thats cheap, I thought it would be 1.50 a litre as 98 is at the moment

I might have to check out servos and try make a list , because Im sure there must be a few more around,

I thought there was one near bayswater George , dorset rd way

Yep! E85 is FUN!!!!
Just bear in mind that the E85 that you will find at servos will be mixed with 91 oct fuel not 98 like the race stuff that I use is. Heck of a lot cheaper though!

do u mix it urself?

Hmmm, so is it a bad idea to grab the stuff from the pump? I work near Bayswater so if the place on Dorset Rd that was mentioned could be a goer. What's the total octane rating of the stuff at the pumps?

I'm only running 15 psi on stock internals, but if there are any fuel economy benefits I wouldn't mind that because filling it up with premium once a week is killing my bank balance :( $55 a week, urgh!
 
Just don't forget that E85 requires injectors at least 30% larger than regular fuel.
The stuff at the bowser is ok as long as you tune for it. I wouldn't trhow it into mine after tuning for the higher octane stuff for instance.

They only have the 100(10% ethanol) octane there.

I run it in mine and even with the 10% the gains are worthwhile if tuned to suit.

Hmmm OK. So given that the fuel system in mine is completely stock, basically there is no benefit to using it unless I get it retuned. I'd like to try it since it's so much cheaper but I don't want to lunch the engine.
