I think Ian may be on to something here. When my Mobil station changed to E10 (93 oct), I noticed a slight difference in starting up Koopah; not every time, but particularly first thing in the morning. I'd say it took maybe 2x 50% of the time for it to light the afterburner.

Then, about 1.5 weeks ago, I filled up with SUNOCO 91 oct after the Dyno Day in Sterling, MA and have been driving on that tankfull. I have not experienced any starting problems since then, just the 1x key turn and a smooth running start-up. I can't say that I notice anything else has changed, just the start-up.

So, it this difference due to moving down to 91 from 93 or was it the brand? Deal...or No Deal?
