Hey All,
Been here a while and the board is a great wealth of info, great forum.
I have an '04 QC Hemi and the manual states the truck is designed for 87 and will run ok on it, but 89 will perform better. It then goes on to state using anything higher is not recommended, and may actually hurt performance. I bought my Ram in March, and never used anything but 89.
Here is my dilemna, I recently stopped at the station I always use, the only pumps working were for 93 octane. I filled up anyway and certainly did notice a change in performance.
My Ram is running like a Raped Ape on it!! :rck: I am almost through a whole tank, and MPG is still in the same range, but the trucks performance seems so much better, especially off the line.
Is this just a ploy by Dodge to avoid the better performance, and avoid heavier beatings on their warranty incurred by the increased fun factor the higher octane gives this truck?
What octane do you all run? How is your performance?
