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...
lol u got me confused, i am guessing the older r/t's are DOHC, but mines a SOHC.

Yup, I would take that car in a heartbeat... or the car from Minority Report... Audi seems to love building WORKING prototypes for all those movies, too bad they dont sell them.
