Anyone's jeep running diffrent from the 10% ethanol gas?

I am just looking to see if i may be the only one or if everyone is feeling the effects of this new gas mandate. I generally avoided any gasohol like the plague because the buick i used to own wouldn't run very well at all with it in there. Now that i can't avoid it my jeep is just harder to crank than it used to be and i am blaming the gas because when the switch happened the diffrence was immediate. It went from taking half a second to start to cranking for about 15 seconds. let me know if any of you are feeling the diffrence

I haven't really noticed any effect on my starting but I have seen it in all my vehicles in the economy. I'd dare to say I've lost 1-2 maybe more mpg with the 10% blend.

I dont know if its the new gas but my jeeps taking about 3 or 4 tries of crankin before it starts

Wow, my jeep has been taking awhile to start, a few seconds. Didn't think about that tho.

I don't know about that but my wallet is still making that choking strangled sound.:eek:

+1 with the wallet but i am getting aggrivated at the sound of unwillingness to start that my jeep makes. especially when it runs great once it's going. i dunno i guess i'll take a look at my plugs and see how they look. Also does anyone know where other than the dealer to find a filter for these things advance and autozone don't carry them and i don't want to pay $100.
thanks for the replies

Filter is located in fuel tank, part of fuel pump assembly. Dale

We have been running 10% ethanol off and on for almost 10 years in our '97 GCL(V-8). Probably 75% of the time is ethanol. Sometimes for 6 months straight each winter when we lived in Colorado. No problems with starting, but I am sure the gas mileage is 5% less than with straight unleaded. Truck has 84K miles on it right now.

I have ran it 80,000 miles in an 02 Yukon XL. I am running it in Sonny Boy's 94 Cherokee with no problems and it has 145,600 miles on it although we have only put on about the last 2k of that.

I am surprised that people are having trouble...15 seconds is a long time to crank an engine and that will probably wear something out besides patience.

On a side note: Don't run the new E 85 Ethanol unless the engine is made for it as it burns a lot hotter and yes gives more power and way less gas mileage. I have had 2 friends who tried it in their late model vehicles without the right engine and their check engine lights came on within 20 miles. Not sure what damage.

Good Luck Mike

Here in Australia our E10 is 95 octane, but then I think our octane rating is differn't than the states, anyhow my 97 JGC runs bloody good on E10 a lot smoother and better accelleration, no change in economy still around 21 MPG, though my Subaru Ute is fantastic on E10 more power and I actually get better economy 30 MPG. I use E10 because it's cheaper than Unleaded over here in Queensland paying A$1.28 per Lt.
