The comparative un-engaged rev tests of the 2013 & 2016 Elantras may have to wait a bit.
My wife & I are going to Mt. Rainier & Chinook Pass, leading to Yakima, tomorrow (in the manual Elantra). Been there with the automatic Elantra twice, while efficiently burning 87 octane, 100% ethanol-free gasoline(E0). Tomorrow, we'll be using (not burning efficiently) 87 octane E10. Any performance differences (other than MPG) between E0 & E10, compared to transmission differences, would be minor.
