Default Who sells ethanol blend high octane in SE 'Burbs VIC??

trying to find out what servo's sell the high octane ethanol blend around Dandenong/Carrum Downs/Frankston.
It is about 98 octane (plenty for my stock Landcruiser) and is similar in price to normal unleaded.

Any help appreciated

I thought ethanol was bad for your car... I live in endeavour hills and always give these servos a wide berth.

Cool, seems United are the only ones that sell it here in Vic.

There is Plus (95) and another with 98.
The plus is cheaper than unleaded, the 98 is a touch dearer.
seems to run ok so far, i am hoping the solvents will clean the injectors a little. My car is factory approved to run an E10 blend.

There's been a few threads about this but if you ring Ford (13FORD) they will tell you that all Falcons after 1986 can run E10 and below. I been running the stuff for over two years and its great.
