Default E85 in Wollongong

I have been talking with the manager of United at Cringila and he said if there was enough demand for E85 in Wollongong he would sell it no worries.
Very helpful guy but of course the demand needs to be there for it to be worth it to him, only so many storage tanks.
I know I don't enjoy having to go 80 kms to buy it, so how many other people are there in the Wollongong area that would use it?
Please let me know so we can possibly get the ball rolling. Thanks.

ring the nearest holden dealer and ask how many flex fuel commodores have been sold, message a few locaal car clubs and see how the numbers look.

I'm sure E85 will become more popular in the future as we learn more about the benefits of it, specially so with turbo and hi-spec engines.
The myths are being shown to be just myths, the doomsday nay-sayers will be too busy stocking up their bunkers to investigate the real potential.
Many cars have been running on this fuel for a long time now, they are still going great.
Eventually it will be available here but the sooner the better for us, I've been spreading the word and hope you guys can to. Thanks.

you need to sell alot, a mate of mine owns a petrol station and has been looking into it, it's a big investment (up to $100k) for little return, he was saying you would need to sell 30000L+ a month, making 10c/L profit for it to be feasible.

would be good to see E85, readily available all over Australia.
