Did a search but didn't find it. Figured I would put it here since it has to do with tuning.
I'm in the process of tuning my 2012 Sierra with the 5.3L. I'm going with a Diablosport Intune and getting a custom tune by Lew.
Lew was mentioning to never use Shell gas due to the amount of knock retard you get from it. The current tank was Shell and noticed that I was loosing MPG with this tank, before getting the programmer. I usually don't use Shell but figured I was there anyhow so I had filled up.
Being in Canada I don't have all the same choices for available fuel. He recommends mobil, exxon, sunoco, amoco, bp, chevron...
I've got Esso, Petro-Canada, Pioneer, Canadian Tire.....for choices.
Been trying to find info on the different brands, but what I am finding is years old or from the company themselves which I don't trust.
I know Pioneer gets theirs from the major brands and used to be Sunoco until Petro-Canada bought Sunoco. So I am not sure what Pioneer is using now. Their website is vague on the supplier, sounds like they buy from everybody.
I need to burn this tank as completely as possible and then fill up, burn another 1/4 tank then I can start my log files. Going to use 89 octane as the jump to 91 isn't worth it for a daily driver.
Thoughts?
