Default Question about street fuel for Hellcat

I know this may sound dumb....What is the best easily available fuel to run in my Hellcat? I was going to use 76 92 octane. Any suggestions? Also what about an octane booster? Or is that harmful to the motor. I was also thinking of breaking in the engine on a mountain road to put a compression load on the cylinders at a lower rpm. It would also give me a chance to get a good feel of the handling. I subscribe to the take your time theory and doing it right so if any hellcat owners that have had experience in the fuel issue and breaking in period, I would love to hear from you.


Here is an image of my car on the lot. It is now in the garage waiting to be broken in when I can get get a minute. (working all the time) 2016 with 8 speed auto trans, black satin hood and I was lucky enough to find one with a sunroof. ( I live in California) Puuuuuurrrrfect!!

Is that a photoshopped picture?

No. It is not a photoshopped picture. It is a picture of my car. Does it looked photoshopped or something?

So if I did not photoshop the picture, how on earth can you say this is a photoshopped picture??? I think you are the person that suggested I include a picture of my car to begin with? Maybe the Dodged dealer photoshopped the picture? What looks different about the picture that you would suggest the image is photoshopped?
