What kind of gas do u put in ur 1le my dealer told me gm said u don't have to put 93 in to get more power n that using 87 and 93 is no difference I'd this true?

It will run best on 93, but you COULD use 87 in a pinch. You would have to reset your ECM to get better performance when switching back to higher octane. I use 93 octane all the time. I tend to get Shell or Exxon.

After what he told you I'll give you 1 guess.

Georgie23 · 09-12-2013, 11:43 PM

87 I'm assuming? So after i go threw a tank of gas i should put my 93 in then reset the ecm ......Thanks for the info stig much appreciated

Dude only put 93 in your car, that's what belongs in that 6.2 !!

Given your 1LE 87 is like giving your kids water on there cereal instead of milk...

Oh and not to mention it cost like an extra 5 bucks at the pump...Not going to break the bank!

Georgie23 · 09-14-2013, 11:16 AM

Lol I hear ya I was going to put that in anyway but just making sure def good analogy!!

Love it!! I think I'm going to use this example (literally - they will wake up to cereal with water) with my kids on an issue I'm dealing with....

Ha I knew what they were going to put in mine so on the test drive we needed gas and I made sure I got a full tank of 93

Dealer put in 87. I immediately put in some Amsoil quick shot and ran the tank empty. Then filled with 91 and reset the ECM. I have been to some out of the way places and have yet been to a station that didn't sell 91.

I told my dealer no gas and no car wash. What does GM put in it? And if I've put in 100 octane once should I reset the ECM?

I would..... before you put in some 100oct. I would reset it before you run different octanes. though it's probably alittle overkill to reset it before you go back down to a lesser octane but it can't hurt
