    GDI engines and ethanol gasoline?

    I just recently purchased my Genesis, and I'm curious about whether using the standard gasoline (that "may contain up to 10 percent ethanol") vs. using pure gas with no ethanol, which is available in this area, is a good idea or is it worth paying 25 cents or so per gallon to get 100 percent...

    Engine oil with gasoline odor (2013 5.0 r-spec)

    I checked my oil level this morning and noticed a pretty strong gasoline odor on the dip stick. The car is only 8k miles on the clock with Mobil1 5-20 (second oil change). Gasoline used is mostly top-tier 93 octane. Granted my work commute is only 6 miles round trip and I have not driven any...

    Gasoline 87? 91?

    I came from a car that only wanted owners to use 91 octane. I noticed the Genesis states that you can use 87 but 91 is recommended? What are you using? For those that are using 87, have you experienced any negative outcome such as knocking?

    Gasoline smell after fill up

    On occasions after a fill up, I have a strong odor of gasoline inside the car. No, I didn't over fill or spill any gasoline. Just a regular fill up. Anyone else?

    Which gasoline for my 4.6L

    I have a gas station near me that sells 87 octane without ethanol. No premium w/out ethanol. So, do you guys think I'd be better off with the 87 octane w/out ethanol or use premium with ethanol? I don't much care about the 7 horsepower increase with premium, so with that information, what...

    Costco Gasoline

    I see now that Costco gasoline now states that it has top tier detergent additive. So typically I get 87 octane Shell, or 91 octane Costco but add a bottle of Techron every month. Maybe this makes this unnecessary? What think the list members?

    Ethanol free gasoline

    Stopped at the new Exxon station in town on the way home from work and was surprised to see a pump with 89 octane ethanol free gasoline. Not only that, it was 15 cents per gallon cheaper than the E-85. I didn't try it because I didn't notice it until I already pumped a tank full of E-85. Has...

    My TL gets 13.5 mpg city. Can I do better in Genesis?

    I'm sorry if this has been beaten to death but I did 2 searches for "mpg" and "gas" and was directed to an advanced search page. That tells me there haven't been many posts about this. I currently have a 2010 TL. Don't bash it until you drive one. SH-AWD is the bomb and Acura came in 3rd...

    Road Trip results in Worst and Best MPG's so far

    I just got back on a 550 mile road trip with the Genesis. The 1st day I went from my home in Andover, MN to Tofte MN to go hiking at Carlton Peak that overlooks Lake Superior. This was 230 miles, and I averaged 28.1 mpg @ a cruise control set 71 mph according to the GPS, which is actually my...

    Gasoline tank funnel issue

    Everytime i filled up my gasoline tank, it always overflow even before the gas pump shut off automatically. I know it's the pumps auto sensor but the pump should sense it before it overflows. I think it's the shape of the Genesis gasoline tank funnel. Even the overflow hole cannot accomodate the...
