Since when has E10 blend become a premium fuel? It also seems like a lot of servos will only advertise the E10 price now and dont tell you what unleaded costs until you drive in. Or in this case if they even have it.

I cant afford to stuff up my car using E10 blended, are there cars now being made with guarantees and warranty to cover usage of E10 blended fuel?

Yeh ! I struck the Woolies (Caltex ?) at Belmont near Bunnings trying the same capper about 6 weeks ago - had all the ULP pumps padlocked and only had E10 and Super (or what ever they call it) , no sign or indication on the driveway entering the servo .... bit rude .... so I went inside and gave the guy inside (who I happen to know is the manager) a serve and I DID NOT BUY my petrol there , I wasn't the only very miffed driver who took a very dim view of this there were several other people who wanted ULP and did not accept the BS story he was giving us , I drove on to Mt Hutton and bought (90 litres of ULP) there for the same price the place at Belmont was advertising.

I've not been back to buy petrol at Belmont Woolies servo since - I refuse to give them my trade.

This was on a Cheap Tuesday BTW ....
