Q. What kind of gas does a RT Charger take?
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).
Q. What happens if you put 89 instead of 87?
Using a higher octane than necessary If you opt for a higher octane than your manual recommends—say, 89 instead of 87—your car will be perfectly fine, an article on AAMCO’s blog explains. It will not, however, improve your car’s mileage or give it any sort of extra performance boost, according to Car Talk.
Q. Can high octane gas damage an engine?
The higher octane gives premium gas greater resistance to early fuel ignition, which can result in potential damage, sometimes accompanied by audible engine knocking or pinging. It’s the fuel’s ability to be compressed more without pre-igniting that results in more power when used in the appropriate engine.
Q. Is it better to use premium gas?
Premium gas costs more and has a higher octane rating. Therefore, people often think it’ll reduce engine wear. While a tank of premium may help an engine in other ways, using premium fuel once in a while doesn’t really make sense.
Q. Does a Lexus need premium gas?
You must only use unleaded gasoline in the RX, with an octane rating of 87 or higher. This means the Lexus RX does not require premium gasoline, as the premium octane rating is 91 or higher. Of course, you are free to put premium gas in your Lexus RX, as it can provide better performance, but it is not needed.
Q. What happens if you put regular gas in a Lexus?
Lexus requires that the minimum gas octane rating be 91, which is premium gas. All Lexus coupes, which are high performance cars, require high octane premium gas. The engines of these cars run with a high compression ratio to generate more power. Using regular gas will lead to knocking, which results in engine damages.
