Holden should forget about the major oil companies, Holden should start siding with interested investors, farmers, rural and interested petroleum industries like United who have a vested interest in the growth of ethanol blends.
Holden should also include Ford in the game. Both Ford and Holden engines has already been proven by tuning shops to easily handle E85 with very slight changes. Ford and Holden has enough muscle to change the Australian landscape. Have a look at the popularity of LPG, Holden and Ford taxis were the driving force in the change.
