Got some Sunoco race gas for next month. Will the care "learn" the new fuel or should I clear the memory? ...and if so whats the easy safe way to do that??

Not sure if you need to do it, but it's very simple to clear the Keep Alive Memory (KAM).
Disconnect both positive and negative battery cables, and touch the cables to each other for 15-20 seconds.

Reconnect both to battery and you're good to go.

Thats interesting. I have never heard of that. When you say it will clear the KAM. what will it affect on the car.
