Ethanol-blended petrol now available across NSW

Posted by Nathan on October 2, 2007

Following up from the New South Wales Premier’s previous announcement that it would mandate that all unleaded fuel in NSW would contain 2 per cent ethanol, the mandate comes into force today. This mandate will increase to 10 per cent by 2011, which is suitable for almost all vehicles built after 1986 (specifically, vehicles with fuel injection).  NSW remains the first state to mandate a specific concentration of ethanol.
