The tag hanging from my rearview in my new truck reads as follows:
Engine operation Tips:
-Fuel economy will typically improve over teh first 4000 miles of vehicle
operation.
-Your engine is designed to operate on high-quality unleaded gasoline
having an octane rating of 87. THe use of premium gas is not generally
recommended. The use of premium gasoline will provide no benefit over
high-quality regular gasoline, and in some circumstances may result in
poorer performance.
-poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as hard starting, stalling
and hesitation. If you experience these symptoms, try another brand of
gasoline before considering service to your vehicle.
*- light spark knock at low engine speed (RPM) is not harmful to your engine.
*- When pullling a heavy load or driving a fully loaded vehicle when the
humididty is low or the temp is high, use a premium (high-octane) unleaded
fuel to prevent spark knock.
Sounds like DC knows that there is definitely a problem with the 1st
Generation Magnum Engines.
