    Best thing to do is fill a tank with different octanes and see how it responds. As Matt said every motor is different, personally Id NEVER run less than 89 in a HEMI but thats me and my preference. Try out all 3 and see what happens. One tank wont hurt anything..

    I always ran 87 in mine, even towing.. I couldn't see a difference that was worth the extra money with the superchips tunes at higher octanes.

    Yeah man if you're jumping up to that mileage give 87 a shot. Take it easy on the skinny pedal and see how she feels.

    I also recommend using one of the top tier stations when possible: http://www.toptiergas.com/retailers.html

    Yeah I am going to try 87. I did run 87 when I first got the XK with no issues. Well see. I usually fill up at a Sunoco or Exxon.

    Matt, will you be available in May? My idea was to do the fluid changes, Ebrake line and brakes, and then in July install the sliders.

    Bad day. My "check gascap" warning came on? Nothing wrong with the gas cap. 3 days later and now my check engine light is on which I find ironic....

    To top it off. I went to change the fog light which burnt out and the little flap door snapped off so now its duck taped....

    Screw you XK.......

    Yeah I should be good sometime early/mid May.

    I bet your check engine light is on for small evap leak. Key dance to get the code?
