Australia extends E10 trial

November 1, 2003

Caltex Australia will extend its trial of E10 fuel in Cairns for another six months, according to an Oct. 23 report in The North Queensland Register. Sales of E10 – 90 percent gasoline, 10 percent ethanol – had been promising, but negative publicity recently caused sales to slow. Caltex ethanol-blended fuel has been available at five Caltex and Ampol sites in Cairn since May 20. Government and industry entities hope the extension will increase consumer confidence in ethanol, The Register said.
