i got the 93 tune. honestly ive been running 87 in it b/c gas costs so much. anyone know if this negates the tun altogether or just makes it not as good?

You might be hearing some pinging, but the big downfall is, lower octane makes your MPGs go down.

Its hard for me to judge because I had my truck tuned up literally 2 days before going to see Justin and it was also my first time using 93. But I have to say pre tune and tune up I was getting 10-13. Now it appears to be more like 15

Yeah gas is expensive but the spread between 87 and 93 is maybe .30 a gallon and if u have to fill the whole tank at 27 gallons it only amounts to $8 more per fillup. Small price to pay for increased performance and fuel economy .

My $.02

Jenna, so youre saying that by running the 93 I will get better mpg? if so it negates the price increase and ill start running 93.

Brandon, what do you have now?! Text me a pic of whatever it is. We need to get together...beers on me.

i picked up a 07 tahoe. I was on business up in your neck of the woods today. If i had the time i would have hit you up but had to get there and back pretty quick.
