What kind of gas is required for a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 with V8 engine?
A 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 with a V8 engine requires unleaded gasoline. The specific octane rating recommended will depend on the exact engine (there were several V8 options available that year). Check your owner's manual for the recommended octane rating; it will likely be either regular (87 octane) or mid-grade (89 octane). Using a higher octane than recommended won't hurt, but it's a waste of money. Using a lower octane than recommended *could* lead to engine knocking (pinging) and potential damage.
