Thought that at altitude 91 octane is same as 93... Here in Denver at mile hi...
Could be, the hier octane lets the motor take more air. In Denver it is thin :)

The beauty of a turbo is altitude doesn't matter. The turbo boosts the manifold pressure to a set psi. At least the altitudes that most of us drive.

A new performance turbo is a grand for 25 HP that I researched... Not worth it...

Performance mods... Better gas mileage maybe... Maybe guage will show don't worry...you have plenty of gas left...But it won't matter ...using your gas guage and computer will not equal manual mathematics.

Hemp Hash Oil as a gas additive... Didn't think about trying...
Just hoping spending $1000's on mods will improve gas mileage... which Improves cluster read out...instead of 50 miles left ..

So, you trust the fuel gauge in your truck? Proven to be off. Do you trust the indicated amount pumped by the fuel dispenser? Proven to be off. How level was your truck when you filled up? Proven to be off. How accurate are your numbers?

Can't say... On first fill full tank...
Have not leveled truck... Will add 2 in future .. was 25 miles to go and filled first time 17.6 gallons... Gas guage needle just hitting red... Would like to trust Ranger computer... Maybe it should be measured by weight... Like going to the landscape rock yard.

Watched these videos over the weekend and can't help but think that running out of gas can cause this issue. They even mention running it out of fuel might be a cause of this, interesting though
