What the hell kind of logic is that ? If driving an ICEV, I'd still pop into the vendors at PTT Parks, so not any added cost since I arrived in an EV. Getting a bit silly now. Amazon & 7-11 are expensive ? Yea, that 20 ish baht coffee at 7-11 really sets me back. I can tell you don't live in TH. TROLL ON 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we bought the MG ZS ICE, E85 was about 15% less than 91. Cost per 100 kms was about the same, but a wee bit more peppier with E85, since designed to use. They sure did close that gap, as not not worth using, and about same price as 91, and 2X what it cost at the end of 2020.
