Oil changes every 7,500 miles is sure nice compared to 3,000. |
Exactly what I was going to say...
With variable ratio timing, to accommodate the high compression gas motors, when towing, we need all the extra power we can get. As Such, I have to run 93, when towing my little 30 travel trailer, in the South Eastern US. I could not imagine towing the western mountains with anything less than 93. As such fuel coast is about the same for 93 vs diesel.
