Which Gasoline? - 6/4/2007 2:35:17 PM    betta510   Posts: 89 Joined: 6/4/2007 Status: offline Hello everyone, I'm new here. I just got my charger! I've been wanting it before it even came out, I traded in my ford F-150 truck, I'll miss my truck but I'm more than happy with my decision. My question is, which type of gas should I put regular, super, or premium? And which name brand is best? I normally stick to chevron. I got a 2007 R/T, 5.7 LT Post #: 1

I'm odd and try to fill at half a tank and alternate filling up between 89 and 91, so I always have a mix going on.  I also run a 91 Super Chips tune. (in reply to betta510) Post #: 2

DO NOT SKIMP ON FUEL TO SAVE $1-2 dollars!!!  MAKES NO SENCE! The only way you are going to save money on gas in this beast is to let it sit in the drive way. (in reply to betta510) Post #: 4

I'll try it for a while see how it works out. Thank you (in reply to srteatr) Post #: 5

RE: Which Gasoline? - 7/24/2007 3:42:55 PM    Armageddes   Posts: 63 Joined: 9/6/2006 Status: offline Absolutely -- no mom and pop places -- also, avoid the delivery truck, they tend to leave water in the tank.  I like Shell or Exxon or Mobile, but I run 93 with some boost occasionally, due to a nagging ping problem that developed after the install of my CAI.  I run the boost every few tanks -- problem solved.  I friend told me he liked BP because it did not have any dye in it.  Whatever that means. The cost is indeed negligible, 10 cents a gallon on an 18 gallon fillup?  $1.80. Did I do that right? _____________________________ A R M A G E D D E S 2006 R/T Road Track Silver Steel Metallic Mopar CAI Corsa Catback Exhaust Graco Babyseat (5 point harness) (in reply to 96cobra10101) Post #: 7
