Ok..A short time ago,i was told by my buddy,the Service Manager at Don
Miller Dodge here in Madison,to use the following brands of unleaded.
Phillips 66
Amoco
Citgo
Mobil
He told me,to stay away from: SHELL,CLARK,MARATHON*,& SPEEDWAY-SUPERAMERICA.
Don Miller & some other Dodge dealerships have reported problems with the
latter.Also,I dont use "cheap" gas in my Dak.You know,the kind sold by Food
Store chains like Cub Foods,etc.
Also,i was told to run 89 octane,NOT 87.
Right now,in the cold weather(4 degrees/-27 WC),im runnin 93 Octane Phillips
66...Sure,more than i need,but i notice the difference
