Anyone with an 08 noticed the idle being rough. Mine idles around 500rpm and the dealer says it should be 750. They said they have not had any complaints but I found a Hummer forum that had a thread about it. Now I can't find it again. I asked about a reflash but again it seems I know more about Hummers than they do, the answer was no reflash as of yet. Of course they asked me if I was using 93 octane and I have since new. Then the salesman who sold me mine says they fill all new ones with regular, it cost too much to buy premium. Duhuh...for $70,000 you would think they could buy 93 . Plus this is the first new car I have ever bought that the first oil change was not included; also, being the "corvette" engine it didn't even have synethic oil . Now mine has Mobil 1 in it.

I have about 3000 miles and the roughness seems to be getting better. I use 87 and always have. I drove a demo for 1000 miles and it was the same as far as rough idle. :cool:

Mine has the same rough idle. Seems like it has either gotten better OR I am just used to it. I burn regular fuel in mine since I got it. I have about 4000 miles on the beast so far.
