Anybody had a problem with this? Truck runs fine all summer, in 100+* heat then starts pinging when we switch to winter gas.

What's up? I have fixed my plenum and I have 3923's, haven't replaced the cat yet but that should cause that much of a problem.

I really would rather not have to start putting 92 in it again, gas is $3.05 here...lol

 

Winter blend gas.....don't know what that means, but every year around this time I hear about "winter blend gas"...has more or less of something in it I presume....

 

Winter blend in Texas ? And how do you know it changed?

 

Yeah, we run winter blend.

I know this because the gas literally smells different, the price drops a couple cents more on average and my truck runs like ****. lol

 

You sure it the gas that smells different and not you in the winter? LOL JK

 

ha ha
No, really, it does smell different. And believe it or not, it does get cold down here. lol

 

sure you didn't get some bad gas at a station you don't usually buy gas from?

 

I buy gas at the same station all the time.

 

Winter blend is heavily laden with butane, for one altered ingredient... Butane burns right readily, and evaporates easily too.. all in the name to pollute less.. go figure..

If you burn twice the petro to do the same function as you do without all the emissions crap, and the emissions crap only reduces 20% of pollutants, where is the gain? I can't wrap my brain around it.. winter blends because of drastically increased idling? Doesn't make sense either..

What does make sense, is there is a group of fat cats making a fortune off of this, and that fortune included participants making agreements in a smoke filled room and who have some legislative function signing off on it..

Crazy world we live in..

 

Why would anything be put in the gas in southern states in the winter season? Cold in Texas is 60. LOL
