Does the 1985 Dodge AD100/AD150 Ramcharger 2WD need premium gas?
Every trim takes regular — no premium needed.
| Trim (engine / transmission) | Fuel | MPG | Fuel/yr |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5.2L 8-cyl, Automatic 3-spd, RWD | REGULAR | 13 | $4,800 |
| 5.2L 8-cyl, Automatic 3-spd, RWD | REGULAR | 13 | $4,800 |
| 5.2L 8-cyl, Automatic 3-spd, RWD | REGULAR | 12 | $5,200 |
| 5.2L 8-cyl, Automatic 3-spd, RWD | REGULAR | 11 | $5,650 |

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.
