This morning, I was able to start my car on the second crank with a coolant temp of 62F. Gonna keep experimenting to see if I can get it to start on the first.

FWIW, I'm using 100% Propel E85, which measures 78-80% ethanol on my Zeitronix gauge.

Disclaimer.. use at your own risk blah blah blah.
The propel stations near me seem to be pumping 90+ % I have sampled three batches from 2 propel stations now (Huntington Beach and Anaheim) .

This is where i am for first key turn starting down to about 50*F And what the samples look like from these stations:
