Ethanol fuel in Australia is limited to a maximum of 10 percent
because the federal government has set up cartel-marketting agreements
between the key oil companies and Manildra Corp which is the biggest
producer of ethanol in Australia. The 10 percent limit is set so
Manildra can always keep product flowing so the pricing of 10 percent
ethanol fuel can be kept artificially lower than regular ULP.
