Unhappy Correct octane

I am picking my L up on the 18 of this month...I thought i read somthing about the octane level having to be a min. of 91? is this true...I wonder if the dealer will know this and will they put the correct octane or will they just run it up to the local station and fill her up with 87 oct....?????? I definitely dont want any probs from the start

Predatr, They will put the good stuff in,

Is it better to run 94 over 93 or 92 on a stock L?

I told the sales manager that I wanted to fill it myself, and he gave me $25 cash on the spot.

I wouldn't let anyone else drive the vehicle once you lay your money down. No lot attendants, service people, nobody. My brother's truck got straight up LOOTED by lot attendants. And nobody knew anything.

My floor mats, CD changer cartridge, Tonneau cover, & certificate of authenticity got lifted the day I purchased the truck while they were 'cleaning it up' for delivery. The biggest laugh was when the dealer told me they didn't remember the truck having that equipment on it when they received it. But I wanted the truck real bad and I got a KILLER deal on it, so I was willing to swallow the loss. (As long as the feature costs were deducted from the price)

Good luck,

My truck was on the lot with a 1/2 tank of fuel for 6 months. I made them drain the tank b4 I filled it with 93. 91 is pushing it but in some parts of the country, that is the best you can get.
