I had a psychiatric appointment today. While driving I heard on the radio a news report expressing concern about the low uptake of biofuels in New South Wales. A survey was cited that 40% of drivers fear damage to their engines from fuel blended with ethanol.
Now, I may be leaping to conclusions, but perhaps this has something to do with the flurry of news reports several years back about 'those awful petrol stations blending in ethanol with fuel to stretch it out and make a bigger profit' and the accompanying scare campaign about how this would result in damaged and worn engines.
It is only a few years since the media were telling people how terrible this stuff is, so I am not surprised people are being slow to take it up.
