Does the 2026 Dodge Durango AWD 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3.6L 6-cyl, Automatic 8-spd, AWD | REGULAR | 20 | $3,100 |
| 5.7L 8-cyl, Automatic 8-spd, AWD | MIDGRADE | 16 | $4,450 |
| 6.4L 8-cyl, Automatic 8-spd, AWD | PREMIUM | 15 | $5,150 |
| 6.2L 8-cyl, Automatic 8-spd, AWD | PREMIUM | 13 | $5,950 |
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.
