Around freezing point again and bad throttle response from idling to clutch-in on the first mile. Luckily I took the modest E35 (1:2) and was not greedy for cheaper E48 (1:1).
After another mile next red trafic light and no problems.
Anyway less engine vibrations than with E10 (the Minarelli usually runs quite hard).

Edit: Sorry, I was greedy and filled with 3.1 litre E85 but the tank has only 9.x litre volume. So I'm running E35 now.
Numbers above corrected.

I'm running about 110 proof right now(BAC Approx 2.08 ppm) and finally agree w/ you Ts1. Ethanol IS GREAT! I shoulda put in ME sooner.
