What fuel gets best mpg?

All major brands of fuel are basically the same. Ethanol is one fuel that does not provide good milage. Ethanol significantly reduces your fuel mileage because alcohol contains less energy than gasoline. The EPA says you will get about 7 mpg less with E85 that with 100% gasoline. But with gasoline it is imperative you use the correct octane. Simply put, octane is a measure of gasoline's ability to resist detonation, which you hear as pinging and knocking in your engine. The higher the octane the more the fuel can be compressed without detonating before you want it to. Detonation, ping, knock, whatever you want to call it, occurs when the air/fuel mixture ignites before the spark plug fires. The mixture ignites from compression and not from the flame of the spark plug. In other words, the higher the octane the less likely it is to ignite prematurely. The only benefit to a high octane fuel is that it allows an engine to run at a higher temperature and with a higher compression ratio without pinging. Higher octane fuel does not provide more energy, more power, better mileage, more torque, burn cleaner, clean your engine, and is not better for the environment. If the engine is pinging when using the correct octane fuel, then it may be necessary to move to the next higher octane to prevent pinging, and damage to your engine, unless there is another problem. If you are using higher octane fuel for any of these reasons, STOP, you are throwing your money away. Also, never use a lower octane fuel than is recommended by the manufacture. If the manufacture recommends 89 octane then use 89. If they recommend 87 then use 87. The key is what was the engine designed to run at to achieve optimum performance and mileage? One exception is when you are towing a heavy load with a vehicle designed to run on 87 and you experience pinging. In that case it may become necessary to switch to 89 while towing. In conclusion, race car engines are designed to run on high octane fuels due to their high compression engines. You cannot make your engine a race engine just by upping the octane. Save your hard earned money, and use exactly the octane you need.

Where is the PCV valve located on a 1986 Buick 25 4 cylinder engine?

Any PCV valve should have two basic characteristics which help you locate it on the engine of your car. There should be a small hose, usually harder material, comming out of the crankcase. Most of the engines I have worked on have very few holes in the crankcase since it increases the chance of a loss of pressure. Sometimes the PCV valve seats firmly into the top of the crankcase instead. The second thing to look for is a hose connecting into the side of a valve cover. In most of my cars, this is located on the back side of the valve cover (the side facing the passenger compartment) and is usually difficult to get to. There are always wires or hoses running close or covering this from sight. The PCV valve will be connected in some way to both the crankcase and the valve cover. (usually)

How do you remove factory stereo from 89 Buick Riviera?

The vehicle should've come with a set of key-like items that you would put on top of and below the stereo and simply pull it out. These might be found in the glove box, if not it might be best to go to your nearest stereo store, car stereo warehouse, best buy etc.

How do you reset Buick Enclave tire pressure monitor?

Park the vehicle and put on the parking brake. Turn the ignition to on/run, but do not turn on the engine. Remove all the tire valve caps. Then press the open/close buttons on the key remote simultaneously and hold them down for 5 seconds. This will activate the tire pressure system to "learn mode". Then STARTING WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT TIRE, AND MOVING CLOCKWISE, change the air pressure on each tire (simply let some air out with the top point of one of the valve caps pressed against the valve stem) for a few seconds until the horn beeps (usually 30 seconds or so). It is important to start with the driver front tire first, then the passenger front, then the passenger rear, then the driver rear. This process "teaches" the TPMS the pressure on each tire. After the driver rear is complete the process is done. Refill the tires to the required pressure, and the system should be reset and fully active. If you do not follow this sequence, the learning process will stop, and you will have to start over. Obviously, you will want to do all of this where you have the ability to refill the tires (either at a gas station, or at home with an air pump/compressor available).

Note: You may have to do this process after a tire rotation, if the service person has not done so, or after changing to a new tire. If you were replacing a flat tire, and used one of those flat repair sprays, the spray can actually foul up the TPMS sensor such that it will not work on that tire any longer. Also, you may do this process correctly, and still find that the TPMS system has not reset. Either way, the TPMS may be faulty, and will need to be serviced, and you should call your dealer or mechanic.
