Re: [Chrysler300] No Alcohol Gas

87 octane, really?  You are lucky it ran at all.  It doesn't ping like crazy?  Your timing must be really retarded to get away with regular gas if it doesn't ping.  I would retime it to where it should be around 10 degrees before TDC and dump the 87 octane gas and fill it with 91 fuel.  Then see how it runs.  Running retarded timing also heats up the cooling system a lot and will fry your valves in short order if you continue running it that way, even with your additives.

Filled up with Non-alcohol gas, 17 gal, (87 octane) at last fill on the way home in Eldridge, IA at a Casey’s store.

Car still ran crappy after that fill also, last 90 miles.

Filled again, after getting home with real gas and added my usual “valve save” additive plus 8oz of Marvel Mystery oil

So, car now has nearly a full load of real gas.

Checked the acc pumps yesterday and both are squirting OK.

Went for 25 mile test run about 1:30 PM with numerous hammer down runs up to 80+mph.

Had zero issues, but, temps were not like they were on I-80 and I-76/70 on the trip out to the meet and back.

I doubt if it was higher than upper 70’s when I did this yesterday.

IMHO it has got to be fuel/under hot temp related. I base this on, after a 30 minute rest stop Thursday afternoon with the hood open, it ran great for about 10 minutes afterwards.

I might add, this is the 1st long distance HOT weather trip the car has been involved in since Gil’s meet in FL, back in what…’92???

Aaargh. Californians are happily paying $3-$4 corn gas prices with sure knowledge we are saving the planet. Our 300’s lap it up thirstily, especially while idling in freeway traffic.
