To provide cleaner air, all gasolines in the United States

are now required to contain additives that will help

prevent deposits from forming in your engine and fuel

system, allowing your emission control system to

function properly. Therefore, you should not have to add

anything to the fuel. In addition, gasolines containing

oxygenates, such as ethers and ethanol, and

reformulated gasolines may be available in your area to

contribute to clean air. General Motors recommends that

you use these gasolines, particularly if they comply with

the specifications described earlier.

NOTICE:

Your vehicle was not designed for fuel that

contains methanol. Don’t use it. It can corrode

metal parts in your fuel system and also damage

plastic and rubber parts. That damage wouldn’t

be covered under your warranty.

Fuels in Foreign Countries

If you plan on driving in another country outside the

United States or Canada, the proper fuel may be hard to

find. Never use leaded gasoline or any other fuel not

recommended in the previous text on fuel. Costly repairs

caused by use of improper fuel wouldn’t be covered by

your warranty.

To check on fuel availability, ask an auto club, or

contact a major oil company that does business in the

country where you’ll be driving.
