I have read that many drivers are noticing around 4 mpg less, but tonight a relative who as a c3 aircross similar to ours asked if I have noticed not just a fuel reduction but a noisier engine when pulling away.
Although being retired I do not drive everyday I have noticed a bit more of a clatter I wonder if anyone else has.
Thanks

I had not done any long journeys in my 2020 C3 Aircross Automatic before covid restrictions kicked in.
Along came E10 fuel and since then I have driven two long journeys, one of 212 miles each way and the other or 245 miles each way.
According to Mycitroen App on one stage of the second journey it returned 57.6 mpg over 73.7 miles in 1hr 11min.
Looking back over the figures for the year E10 returns the very similar mpg as E5 did in my car. As far as noise is concerned can't say it's noisier.
