I just got a new 2022 Dodge Challenger, and because it’s a performance car, I want to ensure I’m maintaining it properly. What kind of gas does it take?
uses will depend on the engine size, as the car can use 87, 89, or 91 octane fuel.
Here’s a breakdown of gas types by engine size:
3.6L, 3.7L, and 5.7L engines with an automatic transmission: 87 or 89 octane
5.7L engine and manual transmission: 91 octane
6.2L and 6.4L engine: 91 octane
Of course, using premium gas may be worth it to achieve optimal performance from your vehicle and maintain your engine's health and integrity, but it won’t come cheap. The Dodge Challenger is a performance car (sometimes called a muscle car), and the models with larger engines—5.7L, 6.2L, and 6.4L—aren’t designed for fuel economy.
