It's affecting him just like all other 3800 owners who buy ethanol-laced gas. The people I heard 26-28 mpg from all live in E10 areas, and run whatever is the cheapest. Most of them also like hard acceleration and fast driving. I'm pretty sure his shift tables and engine tune are responsible, because my car gets ~32-33 mpg at 68-70 mph. Same engine and transmission, different computer settings and different chassis.
I found a non-ethanol station nearby so I fuel there. Every time I go home to NY state, which is mostly E10, my mileage drops 2-3 mpg.
