that's strange on days that i use grille block my timings usually advance furthest and overall MPG improves. sometimes if i don't use a grille block my timing would not hit 44-46 deg the whole day...not sure why.

87 octane and 91 octane petro canada gas are both 10% ethanol. only shell v-power 91 here is 0% ethanol. i used 91 petro canada.
