    This is interesting... I was curious when I picked up my GXP - No where in the manual is the 6.2 listed. Only the 6.0. I did find an updated(?) version on the Pontiac website. Curious...

    My GXP did not like 87 when I put it in there once. While the engine didn't knock it felt down on power. I am not sure if the computer retarded the timing once it figured out there was a lower grade of fuel in there or not.
