Hi! I have found this Page on Google and its great! I own a GMC Typhoon since today - so one of my Dreams has been realized. I live in Vienna/Austria/Europe and there you see GMC Trucks not very often.

I hope you can help me: I have the Manuel but there is nothing to read which fuel (how much octan) the Typhoon needs? Fuel is in Austria very Expensive (about 1,5 US$ each Liter! not Gallon) and so i wouldn´t but the premium Fuel in the Car if it doesn´t need it, but I don´t know???

Thank you for you help and sorry for my bad english, but i don´t need it very often in Austria.

Re: New Typhoon Driver

Welcome to the world of SY/TY's. You should run at least 91 octane. But If I were you, I would get alcohol injection and might be able to get away with 89 or so. Post some specs an modification you have and color and year. Also read everything you can on this board.

There are quite a few of your fellow Europeans on this board, including some Austrians. They can probably help you better with Octane levels, since the numbers mean different things in different countries.

Thanks for your fast answer! In Austria you don´t get 89 octane, it begins at 91, than 95, 98 and 100!
The cheapest ist 91 octan and this will be perfekt if this is O.K. for the Typhoon! It is a 93 Typhoon in Red with Grey Pumper and with no modification at this time. It only has 59.000 Miles and is in very good condition.
I think i will read the next Days very much on this Forum, because i want to know as much as i can about this Car. I like the US-Cars but in Austria there are about 0,5 % of all Cars US-Cars, here you only see this ugly VW Golfs...

Congrats bro. I just bought mine last Friday. You'll find the people on this site are a huge help when it comes to tuning these trucks. They've already hooked me up with a bunch of good tips and links etc.

I think those octane ratings are different from ours here in the US. 93 is the highest octane pump gas (usually) over here, and I'd say put the highest octane you can in it...If its a daily driver, you could probably get away with lower grades if you don't beat on it. Congrats on the purchase too :tup:
