no I didnt say anything like that.I dont know how it works Im not a GM tech, But ive been told by plenty of them that it has a knock sensor, just like Dupinnst said. And it adjusts spark and fuel.

Ive never EVER had a problem running any octane. Unless I actually had a engine problem. Like when the EGR went bad on my truck. It would run a lot better with 91, and fuel injector cleaner or octane boost. until I put in a new one


Why dont you do a little story telling of your own? Im pretty sure you dont gain or lose HP by using the wrong octane of fuel
