New South Wales gas station owners to be fined if don’t update E10 with 94 octane labels

In Australia, gas station owners in New South Wales are at risk of up to A$1 million in fines for not updating their pump labels showing 94 octane instead of 91 octane following the introduction of E10. Fines could come as soon as early 2016 against companies and individuals if changes weren’t made immediately. At the moment, at least 6% of the state’s gasoline must be blended with ethanol via E10, though retailers with fewer than 20 stations are exempt from the requirement.
