Does the 2013 Dodge Dart need premium gas?
It depends on the trim. Some versions take premium and some take regular — check your exact engine/transmission below.
| Trim (engine / transmission) | Fuel | MPG | Fuel/yr |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0L 4-cyl, 6-spd manual, FWD | REGULAR | 29 | $2,150 |
| 2.0L 4-cyl, Automatic 6-spd, FWD | REGULAR | 27 | $2,300 |
| 2.4L 4-cyl, 6-spd manual, FWD | REGULAR | 26 | $2,400 |
| 2.4L 4-cyl, Automatic 6-spd, FWD | REGULAR | 24 | $2,600 |
| 2.0L 4-cyl, Automatic 6-spd, FWD | FLEX-FUEL | 27 | $2,300 |
| 1.4L 4-cyl, 6-spd manual, FWD | PREMIUM | 31 | $2,500 |
| 1.4L 4-cyl, AM6 automatic, FWD | PREMIUM | 30 | $2,550 |
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.
