I think I'm going to go halfway and run 89 Octane gas.
I can't wrap my head around running cheap 87 Octane gas, the same that all the average car runs.

With direct enjection what does the cleaning agents clean?

The HEMI doesn't have direct injection. I don't think any Dodge/RAM engines are direct injected.

EcoDiesel and Cummins both do, they're also the only forced induction trucks.
:-D

i checked yesterday when i got gas how much 89 was compared to 87. 14 cents per litre difference which works out to about 65 cents a canadian gallon difference. i can buy a bottle of octane booster that will be give me 91 minimum and last me for multiple tanks and it would be a cheaper option. i have a full bottle in my garage in case I ever get a ping and need it but never a problem. I don't argue there is a bit more power to be made with 89 but given my driving I don't see the need.
