Comments on: Woofcast #298 http://www.whiteroofradio.com/woofcast-298/ MINI Cooper Podcasting with db, Todd & Gabe Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:11:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Gary http://www.whiteroofradio.com/woofcast-298/comment-page-1/#comment-44888 Gary Mon, 06 Jul 2009 22:50:19 +0000 http://www.whiteroofradio.com/?p=1341#comment-44888 <p>Todd and Michael, I have an '05 R50 and moved to Decorah, IA from the east coast about two years ago. I use the locally available 91 octane E10 premium which is available at several (but not all) stations and represents the highest octane rating available. I have not noticed a degradation in performance. I suspect the ECU adapted to the E10 fuel long ago. I've never had a CEL or related problem. That said, it seems that I cannot quite achieve the same level of fuel efficiency I enjoyed in northern VA -- perhaps 2 mpg less during the comparable summer months on average. The biggest PITA in IA is that it is not uncommon to pull into a station and find NO premium fuel available at all. Perhaps a third of the distributors sell nothing higher than 89 E10. I stay away from them.</p> Todd and Michael, I have an ‘05 R50 and moved to Decorah, IA from the east coast about two years ago.

I would like to get one for my wife's MC. She is fast becoming an enthuiast herself! Of course I'm the one keeping it clean. :)</p> I am also looking for the “You just got passed by a girl” badge.
