IF it were merely a 3% MPG drop with E10, that would make for a more reasonable argument.
When you go from 34 to 22 (07 Spectra 2.0), or from fine and dandy to won't pull a 4000' hill (01 PT 2.4), or when your MPG drops about 10% over four or five tanks (04 Impala 3.4), then
it's not a 3% MPG drop.
I am not seeing where the economy comes in if your gas is 2.5% cheaper and your MPG drops 10-40%.
Maybe it's new math.
