I don't think it's just the alcohol in the gas that's causing the problems. I believe it's in the formulation as a whole. I built and flew a biplane when I lived at an airport, and we had 100LL and leaded auto fuel at the pumps. Some of the planes had been been certified to use leaded auto gas. I tried a couple of tank fulls in my 216 and it made no noticeable difference. That for a while caused me to think that it wasn't the fuel but some other mechanical problem with the carburetors. But the leaded auto fuel that was approved for some planes was also coming out of the same refinery as the E-10 and subject to similar refining chemistry. The aircraft have a mixture adjustment on the throttle and they are adjusted much to the same effect that I get when I apply a small amount of choke to the truck carb. So again, the new cars computer adjusts the mixture, the mixture is adjusted by the pilot on an aircraft engine and the old truck carburetors have to be re-jetted.
