Hello and welcome to the October 2006 issue of the MotorMouth Newsletter.

On MotorMouth you can now search for fuel prices for E10.

E10 is a specially formulated regular unleaded petrol blended with up to 10% renewable ethanol. For some up to date information on whether your vehicle is suitable to run on fuel blends of up to 10% ethanol, please visit the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries web site.

Please be aware that MotorMouth can only report the prices for those fuels that have a price displayed on the priceboard at each service station. So if your favourite service station is not displaying the price of E10 blended fuel on their priceboard, then please encourage them to do so.

MotorMouth Giveaway

The Movie “WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR?” will be released in cinemas on November 2.

It was among the fastest, most efficient production cars ever built. It ran on electricity, produced no emissions and catapulted American technology to the forefront of the automotive industry. The lucky few who drove it never wanted to give it up.

So why did General Motors crush its fleet of EV1 electric vehicles in the Arizona desert?

WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR? chronicles the life and mysterious death of the GM EV1, examining its cultural and economic ripple effects and how they reverberated through the halls of government and big business.

MotorMouth is giving away 10 double passes to see the movie to our Newsletter subscribers*. For your chance to win, simply email your name and mailing address to:

*Entries close 31st October 2006.

Until next month…

Ps… here is a selection of E10 information displayed on some of the oil company web sites

This month's winner is Mary from Yarraville in VIC. Mary's entry - A little bit of effort goes a long way "I'm a busy mother. Quality time with my children can often be in short supply. One way around this is to drive only part of the way to school. It has many ongoing health affects. Not only does this avoid the congestion of trying to find parking in the neighbouring streets, it gives us all much needed exercise and interesting conversations along the way. Try it, it really is worth leaving that little bit earlier, you not only reap the rewards of saving our precious petrol, but the bond you develop with your children is priceless!!" Congratulations Mary! Your prize will be sent out to you shortly.
