Does the 1984 Dodge W250 Pickup 4WD need premium gas?
Every trim takes regular — no premium needed.
| Trim (engine / transmission) | Fuel | MPG | Fuel/yr |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5.2L 8-cyl, Automatic 3-spd, AWD | REGULAR | 11 | $5,650 |
| 5.2L 8-cyl, 4-spd manual, AWD | REGULAR | 11 | $5,650 |
| 5.9L 8-cyl, Automatic 3-spd, AWD | REGULAR | 10 | $6,250 |
The EPA records the fuel each version was tested on. Whether premium is strictly required or just recommended is an owner's-manual detail the EPA dataset doesn't include — so we don't guess it.
