Agreed. If you buy a vehicle, understand the long term cost. I've had my Limited since August 2024, I've bought 1,005.10 gallons of fuel.
So, premium (93 octane) costs me an average of $3.85 a gallon over the time I've owned the vehicle with a total fuel cost of $3,864.82. If I had had 87...
Certainly not required, the power is absolutely better. We'll see how buyers go in 2 years to shop trucks after a bunch of NASCAR ads saying "give me the motor with less power" ;) In all seriousness, there is an absolute difference in merging on an interstate daily with 395hp and 540.
That's your opinion. My opinion, and my cash, want 540hp and no doubt I'm merging without an issue. I bought this last August and have a smile every mile.
My favorite part:
“Ram will continue to offer the more powerful and more efficient Hurricane Straight Six Turbo, but we heard loud and clear from consumers: there is no replacement for the iconic HEMI V8,” said Kuniskis. “At the end of each month, we count sales to customers—not statisticians...
I think the point not coming up here is if you're viewing it as cost per mile, then you should only evaluate it against other motors using the exact same propellant. If your comment is about higher mpgs, then stick to the same octane levels. But saying one engine runs a different fuel so somehow...
What is the sense on that? Fuel economy, in the auto sense, is based on the miles per gallon, not cost per mile.
If I just wanted to consider the cost difference of 87 vs 91, I could have saved about $800 in a year if mine didn't require premium. But the smiles per mile would have been...
Yeah everything seems to say the Mopar filters are the same for both SO and HO.
On the oil side: You'd need to pay tax on the NAPA price (puts it around $65 for the oil), and a filter ($7.30 plus shipping and tax, call that $10.00) so more like $75-80 at the cheapest. As much as I am a 'change...
2025 you can't turn aero off. Hopefully when folks start having programmers for the 2025+ they will consider allowing air suspensions to lock in heights.
It's funny how prices change in three decades :)
$15 in 1990s, is about $36 today, so today you'd be spending $72 for both. Sounds close to accurate, considering there is no way you were running 8qts of premium 0-w40 in 1990.
