Fuel For the Raptor

[ajacob1]

Not sure if this has been asked already, but what kind of fuel are all of you guys putting in? Also if you can let us know what kind of MPG or L/100km (For us Canadians haha!) you are getting that would be great!

I'm doing 93 only. Through the first tank, I averaged 16mpg. The mpg is continually going up though.

Running 87 here in Alberta after putting 4 tanks of premium through it. Not worth the extra 20% cost they charge for premium up here, and the Raptor supplemental manual says its fine.

Truck is getting around 15.5 MPG right now with mixed city/highway/offroad... overhead shows 15.0 L/100km. Did a few highway trips recently and it was getting 17-18 MPG.

Could you tell a difference between performance at all or just not enough for the added cost? Thanks!

I'm running 93 octane and plan to keep running it ....

No difference at all. But I've been in the performance game for a while and my butt can't tell the difference of 10 HP on a 450 HP engine anyway.

Until I see a dyno or 1/4 mile difference I'm going to assume it's negligible, unless you're towing or in high ambient temps like the manual says.

Dont have many 93 octane stations here, that i know of atleast. But im also travelling to remote locations.

Of course there is a difference. That's why your vehicle has knock sensors and an ECU that will pull timing from your shit gas. People putting 87 in a high boost motor (and 20psi is HIGH boost) are idiots.

Nothing less that 91 premium is going in. I will also put in 93 ethanol too.

Running 91 in Cali. Ford states you can run regular but your engine can start knocking
