    Yeah I only run 98 (Australia, no ethanol) in my MK6 golf. I’d love to be able to run E85 or E10 but that requires new hoses and an ECU tune. I’d do the hardware myself and have a shop handle the ECU, however time is such a valuable thing these days.

    98 around here is approx 2.15 / L or 5.80~ per galon. E85 is similar in price to 98, while E10 is around 1.70.

      2.15 / L

      If that’s in AUD, people round here would kill for that. We’re at about 1.80 euros per liter here, but it goes above 2 every now and then. Diesel and Petrol are roughly the same price and no real difference between 95 and 98 either.

        Our fuel prices are subsidized by the government currently. They were climbing for a while when I was walking / riding so I’m not over how mad they had become. Back in the car during rain / shit weather but prices seem much more acceptable currently.
