    PCV

    Yeah, You would definitely need to add an aftermarket catch can, along with more frequent oil changes with a good synthetic oil. Probably would need to run an anti-carbon fuel additive specific for GDI engines, such as Royal Purple Max Clean or LiquiMoly DIJectron.

    PCV

    I can't find any article addressing the carbon build up issues associated with GDI. Some manufactures are bringing the fuel to the fire by two separate paths, by fitting their engines with both port (PI) and direct injection (DI). Stellantis only mention high-pressure gasoline direct...

    Electric Vehicles Are Less Reliable Than Conventional Cars

    Going to buy a RAM - Need opinions on do I get a 1500 or a 2500 for towing

    I'm sure you don't want to pay the 2500 price. But that will be your best move and you will not regret the decision.

    Winter gas blend is back

    When I have switched from ethanol to non-ethanol it usually takes 2-3 tanks before I have noticed a difference. Probably because it takes a while for all of the ethanol to work out of the tank since you don't wait until the tank is empty before the next fill and therefore has residual ethanol...

    Winter gas blend is back

    The EPA article that you linked states that the 1.7% decrease in MPG is for conventional gasoline, you have to deduct another 1.9% if your burning ethanol fuel in your winter blend.

    Winter gas blend is back

    I agree with you about the truck has more drag moving through colder and more humid air, but that does not necessarily make the engine less efficient. One of the effects of using NOS is to cool the air going into the combustion chamber. This is also the concept of a CAI (Cold Air Intake)...

    Winter gas blend is back

    Correct, just wanted to highlight the fact that DA (Dense Altitude) had many more factors that just the temperature of the air; including, relative humidity and barometric pressure.

    Winter gas blend is back

    The density of air depends on many factors and can vary in different places. It mainly changes with temperature, relative humidity, pressure and hence with altitude. The air pressure ( barometric pressure) can be related to the weight of the air over a given location. Ambient temperature plays...

    Winter gas blend is back

    Winter-blend gas has a higher Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) because the fuel must be able to evaporate at low temperatures for the engine to operate properly. Summer-blend gas has a lower RVP to prevent excessive evaporation when outside temperatures rise." What that means is that the refiners...

    I like to have the Speedometer in the middle of the display so that it stands out at a quick glance.
