yeah well do me a favor, airwolf. go buy yourself a 2.0 H.O. magnum, and run 87 octane in it, get back to me on the performance of the vehicle, you will be suprised to know that 91 octane is recommended in the magnum engines.

Ok well good call on the octane fuel then... but are you sure 10W-30 is the way to go... I would lighten that up a bit and go with no thicker winter-weight than a 5W-30, unless you're autocrossing or something...
Well just to re-iterate what I said earlier, Im not defending anyone but I wasn't paying attention to the fact earlier that you had the RT... I was thinking of the good ol' SOHC. So yeah, I would guess that anything less than 89 would probably show a few problems, especially on a hot day. But that being said regarding your comments about not running well unless it's premium fuel... well like you said, premium is recommended for it, so I dont really see much concern there. I would say you could do a bit better on mileage, but the mileage you posted isnt as horrible as many others are seeing. I would also question driving habits... I have a 5-spd, and if I drive like a granny and keep it below 2700 rpm always, I get AWESOME mileage. If I drive somewhat agressive through a whole tank, I can literally lose an average 10 mpg just from that...

Yeah was not talkin about your ride I was talkin about all the others who dont have an r/t . Any turbo or high performance ride uses 91 my moms turbo 00 beetle even takes 91. When I turbo my scion it will take 91. I get it just not doing 91 in my sxt also I turbo her and that Im not doing.

Wait until Christmas or next year, I bet $140 a barrel will look cheap at that point...
