Only Shell Optimax...Does Cost more but since the car sleeps during the week in the garage its worth it

Premium (93) from Sam's, saves some $$$

NAHURRY · 08-07-2009, 04:31 PM

93 from Shell. Make sure were ever you get it that it is on GM top tier list.
See owners manual

I'll be feeding her 93 octane from Chevron

Van · 08-07-2009, 04:46 PM

What does the manual say to use--Regular or Premium gas?

Jeffro19 · 08-07-2009, 04:58 PM

93 all the time nothing less

FNKNSTN · 08-07-2009, 05:02 PM

Put in what the owner's manual says to put in.

Van · 08-07-2009, 09:56 PM

I thought the owners manual said to use regular IIRC. If that's the case then putting super unleaded does absolutely nothing but waste money. It's not better, or cleaner. The higher octane rating just gives it a higher detonation factor (meaning super takes more pressure / heat to detonate than regular unleaded).
