Default 2006 Hemi Magnum R/T AWD

Hello all.
Just helped my father to purches '06 R/T Magnum the other month.
The car has 96xxxKm on it. It was in good condition when i picked her up and only one owner before us. Also came with the snow set, dealer put brand new all seasons all the way around, changed front rotors.
We are pretty happy with the car but the only thing we are suprised is the MPG. I thought cylinder diactivation would work much better. This car hauls a$$ but loves to eat gas none the less. Before that my father had V6 Ford Taurus wagon lol. Any tips to improve gas milege at all?
After a week of owning I changed the air filter to a new one and did 16 spark plugs (it was some what annoying job to do).
Later on this week or next week I'll be changing tranny fluid, transfer case fluid and rear differ. Anything else?

Another thing....Since this is mostly my dads car he started putting 87 Octane in!! He knows that the car calls for 89 but yet he doesn't really wanna listen. How bad do these high output Hemi's react to lower octane?
I really don't want him to screw up anything....but then he loves to be cheap.

For my personal car I drive 2006 Subaru Imprese WRX stage 2, runs on 94 octane and put down 207whp/273wtq on a low reading Mustang dyno.

I will post photos of both cars when I get home from work.

Mods feel free to move this into Magnum subforum if needed.

P.S. Does anybody know Canadian Magnum forums at all?
