Yeah! No clue why the Hemi takes premium…

I'm a bit confused here... That would be 5.35 MPG which yeah, is horrendous. 14 gallons to go 75 miles? These crest 20MPG+ on the highway.
About the premium I'd say the compressions are decently high. But no damage at all if you use regular on pushrod American V8s.

Its highway from the airport to Disney, but driving around Disney its rarely over 50 MPH, and theres a lot of idling in line to park and to leave, a lot of remote starting to cool it down, etc. The front end was also WAY out of spec, somebody hammered a curb or something.
I liked the Suburban, I'm going to do a writeup on my experience with it.

Engines usually require premium because of cylinder-compression and spark-advance. The more you have of either, the more likelihood the engine will need higher octane to prevent pinging/knocking, which, if serious, can damage the pistons and bearings.

My point was, I don't understand why Chrysler designed the Hemi to require premium.

On another subject, since you were (apparently) at Disney recently, I hope you didn't get caught in Ian. Its center moved very close to Orlando, although Orlando is far enough inland to escape the worst of the winds and storm surge on the coast. *
* After I posted this, I saw, in another thread, that you had gotten through Ian OK.

They're exactly the same size and similar in price so the comparison makes total sense
