Ethanol is a fuel oxygenate added to reduce exhaust emissions, not to reduce fuel cost.




Yah, I know that, you know that, but little johnny howard (our venerable prime minister) appears to think that making alcohol from sugar and plonking it in our gas is going to make it cheaper. I think he's been drinking too much of the stuff.

Interestingly when I spoke to the mechanic about this yesterday he said "oh these bikes're european, they can take up to 18%! Just be careful not to get it on your paint." I don't feel too reassured.
