Here in Florida all the fuel has some ethanol mixed in....they say up to 10%. I've noted no ill effects on my WBX except a drop in fuel economy, from 18-19 to 17. And since the 10% alcohol is only supposed to drop fuel economy 2%, then either it affects the WBX more or part of it is an aging motor.

Is there anything to be done to mitigate it if it's a problem? Thanks, Scott |
