I know there has been loads of stuff in the press recently about E10 causing drops in economy but i've pretty much ignored it and not paid attention to MPG for months as i've really only done the odd run to the shop in my wifes car which has been running on the stuff since it appeared, had a bit of running around in the wife's car today however and it definitely seems quite a bit worse when I actually paid attention to the trip computer to what it used to be capable of.
It's an Octavia 2.0 FSI, Worksop to Pinxton via the M1 at at 65MPH resulted in a readout of 32 MPG, the same journey in reverse got a marginally better 34 MPG.
Spent about 45 mins in town too, 16 MPG.
Running around town used to average 23ish and motorway trips used to result in 40 - 43 MPG.
Anyone else seeing similar issues running this new E10 or is my wife's car simply broken?
