I'd say its your car (check plugs and temps). Tune up time? My best friend had an 84 RX7 and never had an issue with it on e10. Yes, the cars will go down in performance, slightly on e10. My butt dyno didn't notice my 6 whp loss on the same tune (at the time the daily was only 218 on our shop mustang). Tuned up and couldn't get 1 hp back at the same boost.
Shit, my old beat as 1980 SR5 corolla doesn't have an issue with it.
I'm am curios as to what the fuel temps are getting up to down there? you guys still only in the 80's? temp has been one reason FL (and parts of texas) has waited so long to swap over.
I'm really curious as to why you guys are having issues?...let me know how your plugs look, gap and temp range.
I'm thinking that might be the source of the problem as well. I'll have to do a little more paying attention to the difference between night and day. Most of my driving has been in the middle of the day when the asphault is hot enough to melt shoes... lol.
as for the plugs and what not, everything is nice and fresh. stock replacement... I'll have to rip them out (well, out of my car cuz they are a pain to do in the RX7, lol) and send you pics. We did both our cars at the same time, so they've got less than 1k on them...
