Well I kinda have a 2014 DIB GT on order for my wife. She currently ownes a 2013 V6. My questions are 1, do you have to run premium fuel in it and also, what kind of mileage are you guys seeing around town? Oh,its a automatic by the way. Thanks!

As others have said, you can run 87 in it with no problems.

I get 18ish MPG driving back and forth to work (9 miles each way). Did a test recently where I babied it and got just north of 20 MPG, but that takes all the fun out of it.

On the highway doing 75, I get 22-23 MPG (3.73 gears)

Whats the reason for wanting to run 87?


On pump gas I was getting 26+ mpg on highway 20 around town driving normal in a manual.
