Testing 93 octane in my 2018 Silverado 5.3

[@LermTube]

Those gas prices look so damn beautiful

[@tylerelkins9619]

Try some of the Lucas gas treatment. It did wonders for my 18 chevy silverado. From the way it idled to drove ect. Just felt much much better & its super cheap.

[@FLbowtieguy]

I run it to also noticed better idle

[@jaybo107]

How often do you run it every fill up or every other month

[@DarrenWS6]

Ive done this a few times myself. I used to run 93 on highway trips as a method to burn better and clean out slightly. I think baby squat needs longtube headers!

[@danlah1303]

I’ve seen similar results. Doing a similar test. Maybe 10% better mileage, but premium cost way more than 10% extra. I do notice less engine, knocking, though, especially when displacement on demand has kicked into four-cylinder mode.

[@traceymaddox2646]

also running 93 will make the fuel system run cleaner .

[@hialeahhigh]

Yes it increases power, moden vehicles have something called octane logic, they add or reduce spark timing based on octane and fuel quality. Yes it will make more power and you gain fuel efficiency, also better additives on the fuel..100% worth the extra $10 difference from 87 to 93

[@ChrisDIYerOklahoma]

I have 2014 Silverado with the 5.3L. Did the Diablo canned tune for 93 octane. Stock vs tuned using 93 octane = night/day difference. The truck roars and makes much more power. Without a tune (IMHO) putting 91/93 in the truck is a waste of money.

[@fishman80]

I have the same truck and same tuner i suspect. Predator 2? I’ve been running the 87 tune for a year and like it. Havent tried the 93 yet but i may based on your comment. I turned off AFM too and adjusted tire size for 285’s. did u adjust anything else? I did mess with throttle boost and did not like how it ran

[@pinguino187]

I can tell the difference in my 2021 1500 silverado, 93 pushes more then the 87, which is quite unpleasant if youre cruising and constantly accelerating, but pretty sure might give an advantage in maybe at a racing event, and in fuel economy, those pushes are quite strong.

[@owenpullen6356]

If you put a tune and 93 you would get 4-5 more miles out of it

[@titojimenez1820]

My trucks a FFV 2018 F150 SuperCrew 3.3L and I normally run 87 but some days 93 and when I do I get better acceleration and better fuel economy and she’s completely stock.

[@Heisler91]

I switched from regular 87 to Non Ethanol 90 octane in my 01 Dodge Ram. It's a bit more expensive but I have seen a 3 mpg improvement. I've got the 5.9 magum and I currently get 16.5 mpg. I haven't tried 93 octane yet. To me it's worth getting the 100% gas rather than ethanol blends.

[@pepeiann]

Would that work with a 5.2 magnum?

[@dustincady2811]

Running gas without ethanol should get you better MPG no matter what vehicle you drive.

[@TRUMP_WAS_RIGHT_ABOUT_EVRYTHNG]

I don't think I've ever seen non etoh added gasoline! Probably not allowed here in maskachussetts lmfao

[@owenpullen6356]

Larry needs to get a roll pan

[@jaydenhenderson265]

I don't know that's a good question

[@pepeiann]

Larry needs one

[@johnparker9324]

I run 91 in my 1995 chevy Tahoe I originally noticed a slight difference in power nothing to brag about tho

[@ES44AC-2]

My 6.2l loves the 93 when towing, otherwise I run 87. Too many hills and twisty back roads in my area to get a good average MPG. I can get 22 mpg or better down in eastern NC.

[@joshua.johnson]

Yeah, I live in Eastern NC and when I finally got to go the the mountains at around the age of 7 or so, I was absolutely in awe!

[@jewllake]

I wish I had 93 in California; 91 is the highest we have. I run that in my 6.2 Sierra and it still pings a little. My 64 Galaxie with a FE 390 also knocks pretty bad.

[@jxsee18st12]

What exhaust do you have bro I just bought a 18 Silverado Z71 and that exhaust sounds nice .

[@cesaroctavioramirezsalazar5919]

Thanks bro. I have a 2017 and I love your videos

[@uptonjames455]

I live in Upstate Ny close to Canada and we have 91 NON-Ethanol here. I have put it my Chevy (same model/year as yours) since I got it with 5miles on it. I only do it because I feel like no ethanol will result in a cleaner fuel system over the years. But no performance increases on stock tune.

[@TurnThemWheels]

For my 6.2 Chevy the fuel cap recommends premium and I have done both 87 and 93 over time. Don’t really see any difference although people on the forums say that the 6.2 are high compression and require premium for antiknock purposes

[@theme61]

I have a 6.0 in my Escalade and was thinking the exact same thing. I run premium because all my other Cadillacs require it. but since I'm running Shell, which is a top-tier fuel here in Ohio, I'm going to run 87 for about a week and see what happens.

[@jewllake]

Yes, like 11.5 compression. Don't be cheap and ruin the motor. When I bought my truck the dealer filled the tank with 87 and it pinged under hard throttle. I live in CA so the highest octane I can get is 91 and it pings very slightly. The 6.2 was designed for 93 octane IMHO.

[@BayouTapes]

puit premium only then . stop being cheap.

[@jburchick183]

Try the non ethanol, try it you'll like it, I did on my 2018 sierra

[@joeydeboyer43]

Watching this video in April 2023… 45 bucks for a full tank of premium fuel just makes me want to cry thinking about current fuel prices. Let’s Go Brandon!

[@civic30045]

Do you still use your truck with the range v4 disabler or are these number just the engine with out the disabler

[@bamaz7140]

Thanks for the video. I wanted to try this with my 14 but no need now! You should do a E85 video!

[@grahamwhittington4444]

I have a DSX tuning flex fuel kit on my 15 Silverado and there is a massive power and throttle response difference with e85. But your total mileage per tank gets cut down to half lol

[@forgedcustoms5699]

Graham Whittington don’t these truck come with flex fuel already when it has a v8?

[@JustAGuy781]

If you ever get the knock sensor code then the first thing you should do is start running 91 or 93 octane. I had both knock sensors replaced in my 2014 LTZ 5.3L 4x4 and the harnesses and then the last thing I tried after the code kept coming back was to run 91 and 93 octane fuel which would prevent the knock sensor code from popping back up.

[@captnhowdy01able]

My 2011 Chevy crew cab does have a difference in performance when using 94 octance compared to the 87. However I have the 4.8 and no active fuel management system.

[@j.e.t.lifetothenextlife200]

I have 12 4.8 also crew and so I wouldn’t have to use the range technology afm disabler for our model engine ? I been using it for months now (thinking to prevent a lifter failing like ppl have said) and I’ll take it out every other month and drive for an hour w/out it everything’s still good but so I wouldn’t need it ?

[@briangallegos6720]

I just got a 2018 Chevy 5.3 4x4 should I use 87 or 93. I am going to use this for a work truck and am going to be on the highway most of the time

[@a.f.s.3004]

I read if your vehicle does not require the added octane it is actually harder for the engine to ignite the richer fuel.....making it a total waste.

[@MarkJacksonGaming]

-- My 2004 Tahoe, 5.3, doesn't seem to care what goes into it. Just pump mid grade into it anyway.

[@tray2711]

I was using 85 in my 2020 Silverado 5.3 my auto stop wouldn’t activate at red lights. This went on for a few months. I went back to using the higher octane and now it’s working again..

[@benstrausser4251]

About to get a 93 tune on my Chevy 17 silv. How should I go about switching over to 93 fuel with 87 still inside

[@vincentleto3817]

higher octane means a higher ethanol content which can build up on the cylinder heads, however, it does burn cleaner so the engine internals will last longer but the fuel is really just for what the compression ratio is for the motor

[@FLbowtieguy]

Naw I just seen an ethonal test on 93 ..it is 10 percent they all used to be 10 percent except e 85..now 87 and 89nare higher in ethonal but not 93

I have a 2018 5.3l with a Diablo Tuner, CAI and Cat Back Exhaust running 93 octane and get 22+mpg at 75mph.

[@MrDan7171]

You have to open up the engine to get better mpg, it needs a CAI and Tuned to really get better mpg.

[@undertow4629]

I run mid grade in my 2018 Silverado. I Get 19.5 MPG I tried 93 and it dropped to 18. 87 octane also gives me 18. Found it kinda weird low grade and high grade both loses 1.5 MPG in my truck.

With e85 you get a little bit less miles per gallon or average 2 miles less per gallon but but but but my 5.3 when from 355 to 369 or 370 horsepower and 401 torque. The e85 gives you about 20 horsepower more and 20 foot pounds of torque more easily but you get less miles per gallon so you have to mix it up 91 e85 a little bit
