I did a search for GM 12602863 and it is the Label - Fuel Recommendation and the cost is $11.89. Probably for the fuel cap or inside the fuel door.

^^^ It goes on the inside of the fuel door as a reminder for those owners who want to cheap out and put 87 in their Corvettes

OK, I never use regular fuel, but it's interesting to know, I've always put 91, or 93 octane in all my corvettes, even my 79 L-48, they do run better on premium fuel.

Thank you,

I wonder what years this came with. I bought my 07 new and didn't have any such sticker in any of the documentation, at least not that I've found.

My 06 ZO6, built the first week of Dec 05, has this decal on the inside of the fuel filler door.

I have a '08 Vert and no sticker like that found on the car. Is this something maybe the dealer's attach during PDI?

Well I had to look and no sticker on '06 Vert fuel door. Good news for me as I would have had to remove it.

I've got one in my 2010 Grand Sport. Backside of fuel door. Certainly NOT worth $11.89!!!!
