What grade of gas are you guys running? My bro has always ran 93 in his vho and didnt know what is recommended. And what kind of mileage do you guys average..I'm looking at a 07 crew cab z71 btw? Do you see much of a drop with 20's and 33's from stock 17's? And while Im at it whats a fair price for this truck, its an ltz w/ 30k

I run 89 with a tune. I get 12.5 in town and 14-15 on the highway. that's with 18 inch wheels with 35x13.50 tires. I wish I would have gotten some lighter 20's and sae some weight from the tires also.

I run 87 with the stock tune. I'm hoping to go with a Blackbear tune in the spring...probably will do an 89 octane tune.

Just do it right and get a 92/93 tune, why f*ck around with an "in-betweener"?

Don't sugar-coat it Jeff...say what you really mean!

Is the difference dramatic between the 89 tune and 92 tune?
