Just have 2 questions that hopefully you can help me with
Just curious if anyone has encountered this particular problem....When I crack my windows open on a hot day after parking I use the key fob to lock the doors while walking away. Problem is that the car horn doesn't sound off. Fortunately the doors DO lock, I have to go back inside the car turn the key to get all the electronics back on then turn it off immediately. Only after doing this can I use the Key fob to lock the doors AND hear the car horn confirmation. I can only assume that the horn indicates that the alarm is on. This ONLY happens when I crack the windows open. Anyone encounter this?
Second question, are there any REAL benefits for getting gas with no Ethanol? Since I have gotten the car that is the only type of gas that I use and just curious about it... Thanks in advance! |

I used to work for a tier 1 automotive supplier of fuel injectors, fuel rails, regulators, etc. In the early days, yes, it was a huge issue. Nowadays, not so much.

Hey Faytal, I have noticed the same thing on the windows and locking/arming the Camaro. If you only lower the windows a quarter inch or so then arm with keyfob, the horn will sound on my SS. If the windows are lowered more than 1/2 inch, the doors still lock but there is no horn alert. I think there is something written about this in the owners manual.
Regarding the fuel question, the non-ethanol fuel I've seen is @ BP and is 91 octane, usually costs 30-50 cents more than the BP 93 octane with the 10% ethanol content. I've used the 91-non oxygenated in the SS ocassionally and it seems ok. The 93 is what is recommended due to the high 11.x:1 compression the V8 has, it needs the higher octane to reduce the pre-detonation. Using lower octane will drop the V8 to the low oct fuel table - thus lower engine performance. The V6 is designed to run on regular fuel 87-89 and does not need 91-93.
