Ahh UFO maybe we are just crossing matter particle streams here or something.

but what you just said IS MY ENTIRE POINT.

My engine is not running optimally because its being fed fuel it was never intended and CAN NOT (at least stock) combust properly.

the ethanol has such a bad effect that the engine can not run properly.

now if this was JUST one car I would agree logic would suggest its probably my car. but its 10 cars and there are HUNDREDS of others with anecdotal evidence experiencing the same thing and those are only the vocal ones. I bet there are millions who simply never check their FE and if they DO notice anything they chock it up to higher cost of fuel or the car getting older.

No witchcraft or rocket science.

Just as you said. My engine is NOT running optimally with ethanol present SO MUCH SO that I am better off with a gallon less and no ethanol and the full 10 gallons with ethanol.

thats my entire point.

Mind you there is nothing wrong with my engine. My engine is not the problem here. the FUEL is the problem.

NOW is there a simply won't cost me MONEY (at least not much I have 10 cars I need to modify) way I can MODIFY my engines to run more optimally on E10?
