The Dodge Charger is the eccentric uncle among large family sedans. It’s a rear-wheel-drive muscle car with an available Hemi V-8 engine, and the updates it gets for 2011 don’t change that.

The Charger seats five people and comes standard with cloth upholstery and power-adjustable front seats. The front seats are roomy and comfortable, even for taller folks. The rear seats are similarly accommodating, and you can even fit three adults back there on shorter trips.

Key differences between the 2018 Dodge Charger GT Plus, R/T, and Daytona trim packages include: The GT Plus trim is powered by a 3.6L V6 engine, while the R/T and Daytona trims feature a 5.7L V8 engine. The GT Plus has a sport suspension, while both the R/T and Daytona trims have a performance suspension.

All Chargers are design to run on 87-octane regular unleaded gasoline, although 89-octane mid-grade unleaded is recommended for the HEMI. The V6 Charger is a FlexFuel vehicle and can run ethanol blends up to E85.

The vast majority of model years and engine sizes of the Dodge Charger will use unleaded gasoline with a MINImum octane rating of 89 (oR87 where elevation permits). If Your Charger is fitted with a FlexFuel engine, it’s possible to use E85 gasoline safely.

The kind of gas a 2019 Dodge Charger takes iS87 octane regular unleaded gasoline for v6 but 89 ocatane unleaded gasoline for v8.

Using anything other than the recommended octane will not help your car. A Stock V-6 using 89 or 92, you are wasting your money, unless you get a tuner.

Charger Gas Mileage This Dodge isn’t the car for you if you prioritize gas mileage. With its V6 engine and rear-wheel drive, the Charger gets 19 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway, ratings that are slightly below average for the large car class.

The base model 2018 Dodge Challenger with the 3.6l v6 engine and the 5.7l v8 with automatic transmission will use 87 octane regular unleaded fuel and the 5.7l with manual transmission and the 6.4l v8 engine uses 91 octane premium unleaded.

Registered. The owner’s manual, primarily, recommends 87 octane, for the 3.6L V6; 89 octane, for the 5.7L Hemi with automatic transmission and 91 octane, for the 5.7L Hemi with manual transmission.

Registered. You don’t need it, 89 is probably best, but 91 will NOT hurt a thing. I use 91 in all my V6’s because we only have 87 &91, and they run poorly (the computer pulls timing too often) on the 87.

Over time, using regular fuel against your car’s requirements can damage your vehicle. Prolonged use can cause knocking of the engine, which can in turn void the warranty of your car; especially if the car’s manual specifically warns against using regular grade fuel.
