Default Gas Mileage

I'm glad to say I have been getting a steady 2mpg gain since moving to colorado and down to 85octane! I now get 13.5 usually and that rocks! Now if gas prices would keep falling so I wouldn't have to dish out over $50 to fill up, i'd be pumped

85 octane? I have never heard of that, was it just a typo? The lowest I have ever seen is 87.

The guys who can get the lower octane are probably at higher altitude.

Yes I said "Eighty Five Octane". I've never heard of it either til i moved here! I used to get about 9mpg until I had the stock heads off a 99 dakota r/t put on and the Mac Intake...other than that, i'm sure the exhaust helps some.(as long as it sounds fast right?) and to answer your question about the bed paint, factory defect! They had a bad run of primer and the trucks faded and peeled like that....if you ever see another one that color, or a black or purple dodge car that is about the same year, it has the same thing...It looks like ****, but I tell everyone it is Artic Camo(good for hunting here in Colorado!) Plus, you always know it's me, cuz i've never seen another truck with that and my graphix kit!
