Default E10 in a Prius II

The gas station I fill up at recently switched over to E10. I thought I'd give it a try. What kind of a hit in FE should I expect?

Based solely on the difference in energy content between ethanol and gasoline, you might see a 3% difference with E10.

Sounds about right. With E85 you can expect a 25% decrease in mileage. So with a 10% ethenol mix instead of 85% you should see a 3-4%.

unless one modifies their driving style to make up the lack of energy given to them from the beggining

just modify your driving style to makeup that 3%

.

i got around 20 km a liter when i drove a civic 5 spd using advanced hypermiler techniques
and now I drive a salvage nwh20 prius that gets almost to 25 km/l with 195,000 km to date.
