    Should i try ethonal free gas?

    Should i try ethonal free gas?

    Were from wyoming and i agree. I noticed a difference when i ran 85 vs 87 or 91 octane. But when we moved to the flat lands of ks i jusy kept running 91 except when gas shoots up yhen i go to 87. Ima run 89 which is midgrade here from now on just because of the new fuel pump. Sent from my...

    Should i try ethonal free gas?

    Fuel pump was bad. But also found the mass air flow sensor to be bad which the mechanic is 98% sure has been the power issue the entire time. But why it wasnt triggering the cel is still up fir debate. 1300 dollars later and we will have it back tomorrow. I opted for the dealership just because...

    Should i try ethonal free gas?

    Wow that was a long but informative read. I will have to reread and google some things but if im understanding it right your saying that due to the refining methods and other factors the gas we buy if its e blend isnt that bad but that the non e blend would be better. Sent from my LG-D851...

    Should i try ethonal free gas?

    Im hoping she just ran out of gas and that the stepper motor finaly gave in so the gauge was wrong. Id rather spend 250 on a gauge cluster than 900 on a new fuel pump. Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk

    Should i try ethonal free gas?

    So am i doing more harm by running 91 octane thats a 10%corn blend than running the lower grade 5% blend?i was told regular 87 or 85 octane is for mowers and old cars that i should only run 91 or 93 octane especally in a v8 engine. Since its a 42 gal tank and we travle quite often it rarley gets...

    Should i try ethonal free gas?

    Okay thats what i was kinda figuring, i figured it wouldnt hurt to give it a try. Do you think i should let it go completely empty or do you think it would hurt to mix it? Sent from my LG-M153 using Tapatalk

    Should i try ethonal free gas?

    Wondering if it would hurt anyting to try ethonal free gas in my 99 obs burb with a 5.7 vortec. It has 188k and found out that a local gas station has it instead of the 10% ethonal blend. Is there a big difference or will i notice anything like better mpgs? Not that mpgs matter in a burb lol...

    1500 to 2500 desiel swap
