You have to watch all level of government espeially when there are hidden agendas and they bring the bill forward at some wee hour of the morning on the last sitting day . NSW has now legislated that by 2010-11 ULP will be out and E10 will be in and that's the end of that . and biodiesel will also be in. Won...

We have a 2006 Ford Territory RWD(dual fuel) without a rig! Due to the economic downturn, our initial deposit on one of "them European vans" is now a pipe dream . Cannot reasonably justify spending over $55,000 when we can get a good, late model Aussie-made van with the extras we want for a lo...
