Most FI motorcycles won't utilize E10, they run open loop all the time, they can't learn fuel like cars. Carb bikes depend on how they are set up.

The extra O2 in E10 allows it to burn different so that the % of energy doesn't carry thru to MPG always (I don't know anymore than that). I've done recent test with the Stratus. I also had a FFV Suburan and ran lots of E85 thru it & E10, Check Fuelly.com 2002 Suburbans, yes MPG dropped, but not the 1/3 the energy content will tell you it should. It was roughly 15 mpg E10, 12 mpg E82, 20% less mpg.

Show me some fuel logs to support your opinions.

I'm sure every car's computer/sensors react different so you have to test your own to learn what your car does.
