So the dealer mechanic is telling me the rattle when under load is from e10 fuel and nothing else??? Has anyone heard of this occurring? The car when under load makes what sounds like a exhaust leak or rattle ???

Use up the remaining e10 asap without straining the engine or even siphon it out and fill with 98 and then can go back to 95 if you so wish
If you need explanation for the sound and cause look up combustion detonation or knocking
E10 fuel tends to be 91 octane, whereas the CU2 requires 95 octane or higher. If your tank is half full, just top it up with 98 octane. That should bring the average octane rating of the petrol in your tank up.
i hope this is all that it is...i am so syyked to get her :) Thanks for all your input guys!
