Corn Subsidies. Government pays people to grown corn, artificially raising the price of corn, allowing the big farms to earn an artificially high profit from growing corn instead of something more useful. Note that it's the lawmakers from the corn-growing states (like Illinois) that support...

Most auto parts store will pull that CEL code for free - that will help you narrow it down.

Tahoe body parts are expensive. Ours got rear-ended and the rear hatch alone was something like $3000-4000.

Do the rest of the electronics on the vehicle come on when you turn the key to on?

I would start by checking regular maintenance items - have you looked at your air filter lately?

When they label cars FlexFuel in the United States they are referring to E85 (85% ethanol 15% gasoline). I would not assume Flex Fuel means propane/LPG unless it specifically says so.

Might want to check on the amount of power the block heater draws - it can really hit your electricity bill if you leave it on all night. I heard a lot of people put a timer on their block heater, set it for very early in the morning...

Back when I had my 87 Cavalier the tire size was 185/70/13 :lol: Talk about a donut - and yes I often did end up with a tire with a max inflation rating of 35 psi printed on the sidewall. But yeah that's kind of a rare occurrence now.

I think we need more information. When you say slipping out of control does this happen when you're accelerating? Braking? Turning? Going straight at a constant speed?

Good story - glad to hear you got it back on the road quickly.
