#1936 of 2757 Premium Fuel by autowrite Jan 04, 2008 (10:19 am)
The use of premium fuel is used where it is warranted by the engines. If it's a high performance type or not and/or the manufacture states that premium is nessary to not deteriate the engine. Using the wrong octane can damage the injectors. The Society of Petroleum Engineers has more information.

Replying to: autowrite (Jan 04, 2008 10:19 am) What does the octane rating of a fuel have to do with the injectors? The octane rating only affects the detonation of the fuel within the cylinder due to compression ignition, also known as engine knock.   I would also suggest that you use the spell check before posting message.

Replying to: bingoman (Jan 04, 2008 12:41 pm) I suggest you read up on using the proper octane before you start making claims too. Replies to this message: bingoman (Jan 04, 2008 9:35 pm) sls002 (Jan 05, 2008 9:12 am)

Replying to: bingoman (Jan 04, 2008 9:35 pm) On the base engine the fuel injectors are in the intake manifold so using lower octane fuel will not harm them (but poor fuel quality might plug them up).   The fuel injectors on the direct injection V6 are located in the cylinder and lower octane fuel than recomended can cause knock, which may harm the insides of the cylinder including the injectors.

Replying to: wborst (Jan 02, 2008 5:16 pm) Im glad i am not the only one to have had the fuel pump replaced. Parts are hard to come by right now. They took the fuel pump from the Loaded Red CTS In inventory rather than hold me up for 10 days. I get nothing but compliments on the look at of this car!!!!. The performance package with the 18 inch wheels make this car look complete.

Replying to: jpenn (Jan 01, 2008 1:07 pm) jpenn, well, before I got to read your reply, I DID take your advice! I ordered the CTS (fully loaded)on 3 Jan. Really excited about it and can't wait to pick it up here in a few weeks! Good luck...come on in, the water's fine!
#1945 of 2757 CTC - Clarkster by jpenn Jan 06, 2008 (4:48 am)
Clarkster, Best of luck with your new CTS, I'm envious. I'm still holding out for the coupe but I'm definitely weakening and you didn't help any. After seeing un camoflagged pictures of the new Camaro I'm more concerned than ever that the CTC will be a Camaro clone with Caddy front and rear. That would make this 2 year wait a total dud for me.   Again, best of luck Replies to this message: dmathews3 (Jan 06, 2008 4:58 am) jkr2106 (Jan 06, 2008 12:00 pm) wcherrington (Jun 29, 2008 5:17 pm) bingoman (Jun 29, 2008 9:42 pm) and 17 more...
