[QUOTE="TXEnginerd, post: 13845754, member: 113050"] Maybe this is a dumb question but is this not just a result of ethanol fuels being more sensitive to cold weather? The whole reason they switch to E70 during winter months up north is because you need more gasoline in the mix to get reliable starts when temperatures are lower. Ethanol produces less fuel vapor when cold so before the fuel gets warmed up it will always be harder to ignite. This makes sense for those of you who are return style and say it doesn't happen if you cycle the pumps on for a few seconds before cranking. You're basically just agitating the fuel in the lines.
