When the needle gets low, where do you stop to get fuel. What is your personal preference of gas? I have a Black Bear tune coming in the mail shortly and now my truck will run on 93 octane. What's the best brand of gas?

I always stop and pump at Chevron, I always pump 91 octane. My truck seems to run better on 91 octane, I also get better mileage than when I run Chevron 89. When I was getting tuned Justin suggested I stick with Chevron 91 or 89 octane.

BP, Chevron, Mobil, Citgo (the least expensive). Independent stations vary anywhere from .03 to .10 gal difference around here. Chevron operated by "X" and Chevron operated by "Y", .08 cents different today, don't understand it. Both in the city on the same street, it's still Chevron additive.

Shell or Chevron in 93 octane for me,Both are on GM's "Top-Tier" fuel list.

I dont think Maine has Chevron, But we do have Shell. I dont care about price, high quality gas is what I'm looking for.

Shell V-Power FTW!! I get Shell 91 when possible and my second choice is Conoco where I get 93. Shell and Conoco are the only brands around here...the rest are chain stations and it's anyone's guess as to what gas they pump.

I use Shell

 

First because of the "top tier" rating.

 

Second - our County does not test for octane ratings. Last year one of the local news stations brought in a company from a neighboring County to test octane ratings of some local stations. All of the Shell stations tests resulted in (87 tested at 89oct, 89 tested at 90oct, and the 93 tested at 94oct.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
