I'd find it hard to believe that  E10 would run any cooler than Chevron's 94.

I believe theres less BTU's in mohawk so I dont care to use it. I've had several customers that monitor fuel mileage and claim Mohawk decreased MPG compared to other non ethanol based fuels such as chevron, shell etc etc.

Ethanol has a lower energy density than gasoline, so it will cause your fuel injected car to get poorer fuel economy - on a properly jetted carburated vehicle it is dangerous, will make it run lean.

I had good results using the Mohawk when I put a pipe on my bike and it ran too rich, until I jetted it properly...but please be aware that it will lean your A/F mixture and can be dangerous.
