I have used several tanks in the Fairlane and am extremely happy with it so far.

Call me conservative. And I'm far from anti ethanol, but what exactly is the origin of this fuel? I'd like to know before the warranty voiding exercise of pumping it into an $8000+ engine.

Is it a crook batch of bundy doped with white spirit & Toluene.

Who are Freedom? I gather its not the buy now pay later furniture company, only stations I can recall are the dubious hand painted one on Canterbury Rd (NSW) with an oversupply of taxis in disrepair about. Though I think I can recall an at least clean looking station on Springvale Rd Burwood (Vic)

Is it "Freedom from Responsibility"? Any credible info on the vendor / fuel ?

Freedom is just another servo like BP and Shell, might also just be a QLD one cuz i have never seen them anywhere else but brizzy.

OK, the one I was thinking of in Vic is Liberty, but Laminge seems to know of ones existence.

So we have Freedom, and Liberty, its only a matter of time before the Death fuel outlets begin trade!

nothing wrong with the fuel, just sick of the ethanol debate the ensues with every mention of the word.

Ethanol is an excellent fuel but not without its issues. Namely it can destroy hoses o-ring etc not designed for use with it. My concerns are more with the "contains ethanol" stuff it may also contain chicken slops which is not disclosed.
