Butt dynos are notoriously inaccurate. I'm not sure my butt would be able to feel 3% difference. It could be that you are running rich/lean and the E10 is burning better, but that's just a SWAG. I'm betting it's just a perceived difference.

Personally, I try to get "G100" whenever possible but don't get upset if I have to use E10. I might do the next fillup a little early but don't consider it to be a big deal.

E85 is a different story. I avoid it except when it's all that is available at the time. I will get just enough to get me to a real gas station.
What's G100? And, when you say you'll use E85 when that's all that's available I'm assuming you have another vehicle that's flex fuel or did you some how manage to convert your Z to flex fuel?
