Very happy with the VW Polo TDi we've just acquired, but being half way through the first tank the dealer provided we have a need to work out what to do when we need to fill up.
I'd love to brew for myself but that's not an option just yet, so I'm looking for commercial nearby. In our area we have a ValuePlus and a couple of Metros, so I'm looking for advice as to the best way to go.
From my reading here so far (thanks for your input everyone - this is a great resource!), VP may have up to B100 but are acting rather evil, plus there's that horrible gunk photo which I don't really want to associate with my shiny new car.
Metro seem to have B20 labelled in some places which sounds a bit better to me, and with B20 I've read that 50% of your emissions are reduced so that's actually better in my mind than the 20 figure may suggest.
I think it's ridiculous that in Australia's largest city I can't pull in somewhere, get a tank of B100 (for less than the price of dino) and be on my way.
What happened to Marickville?
There's also the matter of what VW will warrant, but mine doesn't have the no biodiesel on the fuel cap, so perhaps it doesn't have the particulate filter? I'm not mechanically minded enough to work out the contents of the bonnet unfortunately. Surely B20 isn't going to hurt though.
Thanks for your help everyone,
Tim.
