bpunk360,
I use 87 octane gas from meijer gas station (generic). I currently have 700-800 miles on the new engine and I'm getting 15+ mpg with mostly highway use. I don't push the engine often--full throttle, as it a new engine. The throttle by wire ECU should accomodate this. If I was going to tow anything heavy, then I would fill up with the 89 stuff.
My 2 1/2 cents--Hope it helps!

RE: HEMI what octane gas do you use????
This subject seems to pop up every couple of weeks.
The manual says 89 is recommended, but it will run on 87.
Why does it run on 87???? Anyone??? Because the computer is taking timing out of the motor. When you take timing out of the motor, assuming it is set to maximize the recommended 89 gas, you don't make as much power. You'll be better off running the recommended fuel.

Todd, if thats the case, should I run 89 when I go to the strip?? and should I start doing it now, so as to adjust the computer to the change??? Mine runs well on 87, but I DO want optimum performance when I race it.....
