    I read the manual again the other week and it actually says premium is NOT recommended. Where the hell I got the idea that it can actually use premium, I have no idea. But man I missed a lot of opportunities to get overpriced Mt Dew and Twinkies.
    Haha. Yeah a lot of the newer vehicles have octane probes and will advance/retard the timing accordingly to get the best power. Our older trucks do not, so unless you adjust the timing manually with a programmer, the power was all in your butt.

    Rhino, I agree with the consensus- you've got a clogged vent. You can top it off if you manually hold the gas lever slightly open and let it drizzle down in there.

    It was the nozzle on the pump I figured out. When I tried putting it in, it was grinding on the side of the neck and was a tight fit. The next time I went without trying to unclog it, I went to a different pump and no problems, it filled fully. So it was just the nozzle on that pump.

    Costco make me wanna gag. Most of the time I go there, there is a big line. Where do they get their gas from?

    Good question and waiting for 10 or 15 min is fine with me when I'm saving over $.20-$.30 a gallon, and my truck runs better because of it too.
