2014 three cylinder

[Rayelljay]

I've seen most of the words written about the new 1330 but does anyone know whether it will perform on regular gas or are we into the high-test machinery area...?

Read an article that said 93 works best but 87 will work.

I heard it runs on other peoples fear .......... :yikes: (stolen quote from Mickey F)

directly from the owners manuals

Use unleaded gasoline or oxygenated fuel containing no more than 10% ethanol or methanol. The gasoline used must meet the following octane number:


Model / Min / Recom
2008 / 87

2009 / 87


2010 RS / 87
2010 RT / 87 / 91


2011 RS / 87
2011 RT / 87 / 91


2012 RS / 87
2012 RT / 87 / 91


2013 RS / 87 / 91
2013 ST / 87 / 91
2013 RT / 87 / 91


I am sure that the 2014 will be the same..

Considering..!!

the difference per tank is about a buck and a half why not take advantage of the additives in high test other than octane. It may be that I didn't buy our roadster for economy. We have a mini for that. But if used in the US 87 will work fine....:dontknow:

:agree: For the savings; I'll buy a lighter lunch when I'm on the road...
The RT will always get a drink of the good stuff! :thumbup:

In my mind, it's not really a question of Expensive vs Cheap stuff.
It's a question of better performance vs poor performance.

After 26,000 miles, I'm not yet convinced my 2010 RT runs any better on the higher octane.

Of course, as always, my free advice comes with a double your money back guarantee.

The info sheet the dealer showed me listed hi test for fuel requirement.

89 vs 93 octane

Here in Chicago area I tried 4 tanks of 93 octane and averaged 32 mpg , went back to the 89 octane and got 34/35 mpg -- 87 was about 33 mpg -- maybe just the fuel around here but I stick with the mid-grade 89 octane

The gas stations sell a lot more 87 octane then they do the high test so, the 91 octane may also be in the ground a lot longer than the 87. If the engine doesn't knock with the 87, I would use that. Just make sure that you keep the ethanol content to 10% max.

Totally agree!

I found a pretty signifcant decrease in fuel economy when running 87 in mine... :shocked: It was a toouch over 2 mpg drop! :yikes:
