this is for anyone who lives or purchased in the mountain region, but i just filled up my tank for the first time after the initial dealer tank i used 87 and the engine feels like it’s responding better…

is there a possibility that dealers fill up the tank with 85 instead of 87?

I didn't notice on mine any difference.

i could be crazy… but it wouldn't surprise me if some did..
Of course they would. Totally could be I wasn't use to the performance to notice the change as well. But if they are going to do things like not put on hood struts or not make the turn signal an LED bulb, I would't put it past the the dealer to save pennies where they could. (and yes I know I am comparing dealer and manufacture decisions but the profit motive is still the same)
