Yes Premium is at least very highly recommended, ask the dealer to see the manual for the fuel requirement. I'm pretty sure it does need Premium to run right though. Sales man is pulling your leg.
Fixed that for you.Yes Premium is at least very highly recommended, ask the dealer to see the manual for the fuel requirement. I'm pretty sure it does need Premium to run right though. Sales man ispulling your leg.lying to your face.
I have been recording the gallons and miles when I fill-up, but I haven't run the numbers yet. I don't think I will have enough tank fulls of the 87 to give a good comparison, but I will see what I come up with.OK thanks. My parents drive a hemi jeep and said the same thing. I guess if I want the full 160hp, I'll put premium in. Do you get the same gas mileage with different types of fuel?
thanks again. Decided not to wait for a factory order. Picking up one up on the lot today. The only thing different than what I wanted is it's red with a stick.I have been recording the gallons and miles when I fill-up, but I haven't run the numbers yet.

I've not noticed a significant difference in fuel mileage or power in my Hemi-powered Ram or with the 3.5L V6 in our Journey in regards to the different octane fuels. 89 octane is recommended for both vehicles. I've run 87 and 89 and have not noticed a significant difference.OK thanks. My parents drive a hemi jeep and said the same thing. I guess if I want the full 160hp, I'll put premium in.

Well, when I was car shopping I skipped on the used SRT8s because of the premium fuel requirement. The cost difference around here seems to be about $0.30 to $0.40 per gallon from 87 to 91, so that's about $7 per tank, probably around $350 a year. I still wouldn't mind an SRT8, but the car itself would also have been more expensive to boot.Stratuscaster said:If the $1.50 difference on a tank is going to kill your finances, then perhaps you should have considered that before you bought the car with that powertrain. Just saying.
This recently happened to me.DaveAdmin said:... dropping to 87 will also tell you whether your gas station has been putting regular into their premium tanks...
