The manual states that it is okay to use E10. I have had problems with the injectors carboning up.

Has anyone else had this problem?

You will have less carbon with E-10. The thing to remember is to only use one or the other.(regular fuel or E-10) If you use a half tank of E-10 with a half tank of regular fuel, you will have problems. Make sure you are using a full tank of one or the other. Also, your fuel economy will be much less when using E-10.
