This and Coyotes comments led me to believe it cannot enrichen enough, and this is the last I'm gonna say about it cuz time=money

from: EPA baseline MPG and the effect of E-10 - Tampa Gas Prices
"I had a car that ran good on regular gasoline but lost more than normal miles per gallon on E10. A small vacuum leak was the problem. Not enough of a leak to effect gasoline but just enough to keep the car from adjusting the fuel ratio to run good on E10. "


Think about it at least.
Sure give me good reason. Seriously man. it sounds like you guys are grasping for reasons and just giving me random things to check "just because"

if there is a good reason then EXPLAIN it to me.

your quote deals with VACCUM not fuel pressure.

my plugs are the proper color. white would be lean black would be rich. My are the proper grey/tan they are supposed to be.

I already said I will test the fuel pressure.

if the fuel pressure IS FACTORY CORRECT give me a logical reason to screw with it?

if its NOT factory correct give me a logical reason to do anything but RETURN IT to factory stock?

If you can present a logical reason I would consider attempting it as you said time is money. you want me to spend time AND CASH to test a theory you won't even explain the logic of.

I did not say I would try anything. I said I would try anything within reason with logical explanation and not super expensive.

Give me a reason besides "because we say so" please.
