The reason for the difference is to give some justification to paying $5k
more for the 300M. According to Car & Drivel, putting Premium fuel in the
Intrepid R/T gives it slightly more HP than the 300M without having a
chip that requires the premium fuel. In this manner you can get the level
of performance yu want to pay for but switch between fuels for whatever
reason at any time.
BTW, my wife's 95 Intrepid with the 24V 3.2L engine really moves well.
For driving a car, it ain't bad at all and it sure is easy on the eyes.
