Hey guys,
This is more of an update to a prior thread of mine.... I had a asked about what improvements are gained after “tuning” and running 87octane. It seems there are many benefits to a “tune” even if not purely interested in straight up HP/TQ gains.
Anyway, back to the point, I found this in my owner’s manual after someone suggested I run at least 91octane based on Ford recommendations(see attached picture). I did not believe it until I saw it because when I bought the truck the sales guy was adamant about no need for higher octane fuel.
I live in Phoenix, and based on the manual 91 seem like the best choice for this area. 87 is the MINIMUM, 91 or higher is recommended for best performance according to Ford.
