In Canada, some gasolines contain
an octane enhancing
additive called

emission control system
performance may deteriorate
and the malfunction indicator

may
turn
on.
If

To

that
will help prevent deposits from

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
help
clean
the air. General
Motors recommends that
you
use these gasolines
if
they
comply with the specifications described earlier.
