RE: gas
Mine says 87 is recommended.... and I ONLY use Shell and Superchips 87 Tune
Anyway, my master Dodge mechanic said that the milage would be terrible the first 2-3 tanks then gradually get better until 20K. After that expect another mpg as you reach 50K and that is that. My first tank or twoI was at 10.5 w/stock tires
Mine has about 6500 miles so far and I have found that to be right on the button so far.
I do mainly weekend HWY but 30-50 miles around towns in between and about a tank a week (250-300 mile round trips) and I'm now getting about 12-13 driving agressive. If I drive 60-65 I'll get 14-15 and loaded driving 75-80 I'll get 11-12 (I have 315's)

RE: gas
Yeah, it will creep but slow for sure. I can get 16-17 sometimes, but...
I HAVE TO STAY AT 55 MPH - no exceptions
and it better be a tank all hwy and no streets. Where I live is hills and playing in my truck after work I'm lucky to get 10.5 even now.
As far at 87 or 89, if I go anywhere besides Shell or Texaco I get 89, here in Oregon we have crappy gasoline regulations so it seems the worst gas in the nation ends up here. It is Shell and a few that actually have higher standards as well as they put the specific additives in all grades where most only put the good stuff in the mid-high grades. Hard to even find Texaco anymore....
