I have almost 17k on my ranger now. I have tried running 87 octane in my truck and I averaged 22 mpg. For the last several months I have ran 93 octane. I average around 25 to 26 mpg and feel that the response is better with the truck. For the small price difference I will always run the 93 octane now. Truck performs better off roading and better all around.One more new guy question. Reading the manual for my new truck (hit 150 miles today) I see that Ford recommends premium fuel for hard use, etc. When I’m driving in 85 degree heat, I’m feeling a bit of rumbling that reminds me of an old Miata running on the knock sensor. I still have 3/4 of the dealer’s full tank of regular unleaded, but intend to fill with 93 octane when it gets to 1/2 tank., just to see if there is any difference. Has anyone else experienced this?
