I'm seeing quite a drop on mine on e10 in the cold weather to be honest. Never seen such a drop before on any vehicle so can only assume it is the e10 switch

I read something a while back that said there would be 'dramatic' drop off in performance of E10, but no ones picked up on it...

well it still goes "vroom" well enough but I have this unshakeable feeling that i put more juice in to go vroom in the colder weather

That is incidentally backed up by the fuel calculator on my ultraguage which is consistently showing 2-4% more fuel going in than the car was previously doing - last year had no such difference

Unless someone put it on a dyno I’d be hesitant to believe such claims.

FWIW, in -20 the vehicle does move quite quickly from 0 to 100 in/h, just like in the summer Whistle

it was in a motoring mag from a person bringing in E10 - better for the environment, even though you will use more??
