P.s The problem would be at the refinery (if there was one) - seeing as that's where E85 is blended.
A low ethanol content would have nothing to do with the boswer or the tank at the actual service station.

There is always the possibility that some muppet fuel tanker driver pumped fuel other than E85 into the tank.

As I wanted to be sure and the first couple of times I thought it could the car's fuel tank or something...also didn't want to say anything without proof and without talking to the station owner first. Test was done by filling up at ozzy park where it read 70 and going straight to gnangara to fill up again where it brought the Ethanol content to 80% on the same day.

Rossco - do you have an Ethanol Content Analyzer? Test was done with a friend's car that has a Zeitronix ECA. I had noticed that my car wouldn't feel as good when filling up at osborne park sometimes so we decided to test it. Jacob Ayres - if you reading this maybe you should go get a reading from your ECA at ozzy park when you get a chance next to see what you get.

Australian E85 standard excerpt From https://www.comlaw.gov.au/Search/E85: "E85, as it is commonly known worldwide, is a blend of between 70 and 85 per cent by volume ethanol and the remainder petrol. In summer, internationally, E85 contains 85 per cent ethanol. In mild climates, such as much of Australia, E85 usually contains 70 per cent ethanol in the winter months as the larger petrol component allows cold starts. For very cold winters overseas, the ethanol proportion is lowered to 50 per cent. Despite the seasonal variation in the ethanol proportion, the fuel is still typically referred to internationally as ‘E85’." Sorry to break it to you RJ, there is no problem with the fuel. The octane rating is no lower than 105 (E70) and no higher that 108 (E85) in Australia.
