1. OCTANE: I'm reading the manual and it indicates that the 455 uses "87 average octane." I was advised by the PO to run 91 (rebuilt engine with 5,000 miles). What is the consensus here on appropriate octane for a stock 455 with stock ignition timing?

2. TANKS: I was under the impression that the GMC has two 25 gallon fuel tanks but the manual states, "...auxiliary tank normally contains seven to nine gallons." Not sure what that means. Also, I was told that fuel is drawn from tanks and that it is not necessary to switch from one to the other with the fuel tanks rocker switch on the dash. Is that the case?
Thanks.
