Ahhhhhhhhhh I suspect the tax & excise will ensure the product does not cause any worries for the major players in the game....You wait & see, some politician will decide that an additional excise will be payable on Bio to ensure that the mineral stuff is not "overpriced"
Maybe I'm being cynical again....
Interestingly the Jack gives very much improved economy on Bio so I'd happily pay a few cents a litre extra.
Alas, the ACT government is not interested in supporting the manufacture of, or supply of Bio....

Extra Tax on a cleaner fuel..! No wonder we haven't signed the Kyoto Treaty yet, see how long we can hide on a world stage from hypocracy.
