New Station to start selling E85 locally!

[BRZ]

Have been hearing a lot of rumors about a new Station that may open up and start selling E85 on the local market.
Any truth to this?

[Redman]

Ive not heard anything...but the MOE regulates the sale of transportation fuel, and therefore will have to amend the law to enable the sale of ANY fuel that is varied(in terms of the law.

If that is done then ALL the stations would be able to do that...
At 1.53 USD a gallon this would just be another fuel to subsidize albeit around the level of diesel.
So Im not sure what the benefit would be.

Dey wud make a mint

[Redman]

Margins are regulated as well.

Will probably sold similar to how race fuels are sold, I doubt it may be at an actual public facing pump.

^^I have only 2 of them requisites... do I need to get a third or I am ok to carry on as I am?

That sounds like a lame rumour.

For the funers... E85 is a high ethanol content fuel that allows cars to make more power without blowing up the engine. It's corrosive, doesn't work in most cars and burns out so fast your head will spin.

E85 would only be in demand from racers... you would need to have about 12 stations minimum to properly service the country otherwise. I would be happy to hear of availability but that just isn't realistic.... I'd be happy to simply get the equivalent of US market 93 pump octane.

this ched...

[javishm]

bra must be happy

[sliderz1]

did a research paper on this. once we're producing ethanol locally it's a decent market to go after

Produce ethanol from what though?
With the current price of oil there would be little incentive for blended fuels other than the feel good effect of being green.

^ Anyone knows what has become of the former Caroni lands? I mean statistics wise? What percentage has gone into small farms, housing etc and what percentage remains?

the report has it all actually. there is still ample acrage to produce an E85 blend to sustain the annual consumption of T&T.

im bounded by confidentialty papers though.

I hear Richard Armitage is gonna be the new batman....fleck affleck

don't worry.
as soon as the diesel refining is upgraded & the cost comes on par with super unleaded, we'll see that e85 price suddenly become 'reasonable'

we wouldn't be able to produce enough cane to make e85 at a viable price... and where did you estimate annual consumption in T&T from ? The sky ? We don't have cars with flex-fuel systems... so you'd need to know demand for flex fuel cars before you can estimate e85 demand.... which there is likely zero demand as e85 will not be subsidized if it is made here... hence the price will be well beyond that of premium gas currently.

Remember, the crops that eventually can yield ethanol in the US are ALL government subsidized to a level un-heard of elsewhere in the world.... and US farmers are much more efficient at reaping those crops than we would be at cutting cane.

Like someone said... this ched is lolz...

wrong

^^what is correct then..other than just saying that what makes sense is rubbish because that is your thought on the matter.

Exactly. Almost nobody uses E85 and E91 over here. Don't know what the hype is

[X2]

People reading this thread that may be taking the 'yuh go see' claims seriously should also know that, although it is capable of producing more HP per cubic inch of displacement... E85 is consumed by your engine about TWICE as fast as low ethanol gasoline....more fill ups, horrible mileage.


Just look at world consumption... look at the sheer size of the countries that are pushing the E85 agenda... huge land masses with huge populations. Ethanol SEEMS cheaper than gas due to US crop subsidies (farmers paid and financed by the government to grow and sell ethanol producing crops). Unless we grow and process the ethanol here, which requires massive tracts of land, significant investment in plant, staff and equipment, we won't see the price advantage... US subsidized pricing will not be offered in TnT.

Mothballs in gas tank yes... It's a secret all yuh doh know about... yuh go see !
