I'm in San Diego and it's been 65 degrees at 8am when I try to start my car and I've had multiple failed starts every morning. Today I had 6 failed starts with a couple of spits and sputters each before it finally started on the 7th turn. My neighbors must think I drive a clunker...

It wasn't this bad from my first few tanks of e85 but then I switched to a brand new station that opened up closer to my house. I'm thinking the newer one has higher levels of ethanol and that is causing the rough start but I haven't tested it yet. I would love a fix because I can feel the power and don't want to give that up
