    I have a 2024 Buick Encore that was in an accident and now it will not start. I was told there may be a fuel pump switch that needs to be reset. Anyone know where it may be located or any other suggestions?

    I nailed a deer in my 2001 PA and am looking for another. I never considered the ultra because I do a lot of driving and I dont want to pay for premium fuel. I just want to be sure; does the Ultra require premium fuel? Is it true for all years
