    I notice the huge price increase for E85 this week.
    117.9c at Maxol Dublin road in Limerick.
    97.9c early last year, 104.9c beginning this year.

    Are others seeing the same across the country?

    What is causing the rapid rise in price? Is it Taxes?

    Thanks for the link.

    The Article does not make sense. As greater the demand and more restricted the supply then the higher the price, the lower the demand and greater supply reduces the price.
    So long as the number of vehicles on offer remains limited, and prices look set to rise, buyers are not going to be tempted to opt for E85 variants. The alternative fuel debate may be moving away from bioethanol.
    If the number of vehicles remain limited and the supply still remains the same then the price should be stabilise or fall, but the opposite has happen reduce the E85 advantage as it is far closer to the price of Petrol. and take the 20% rule from the Maxol Limerick pumps of of price 117.9c per litre. It is 141.48c per litre in comparison to Petrol cheaper.
    It make Petrol far more viable to buy therefore reduce demand for E85.

    E85 : Petrol Price equivalent
    €0.97 : €1.16
    €0.99 : €1.19
    €1.05 : €1.26
    €1.15 : €1.38
    €1.17 : €1.41

    With Petrol Prices at average €1.29, E85 is not economical viable to use.
