Yes, E10 or E15 will reduce MPG. They did, indeed, use 100% gasoline in their tests. That is one factor. However, my lifetime mileage on my car is 46mpg and this is carrying a few hundred pounds of equipment for work 100% of the time. So, something is amiss with other people and their low mileage........
Anyway, I love this car. Of course, if my mileage was 35mpg on a car rated at 47, I would be very upset. Of course, in my case, I bought this car for the high mileage because of my work. Inside of about 8 years the car will have paid for itself in gas savings over my Caravan I had been using. So, if the mileage wasn't as high as quoted, I would be squauking about it too.
I stand behind the statement that there is something those 35mpg people are doing very wrong.......
