    How can I tell if 2018 has 802A package?

    We must be getting shafted in the Northwest on Raptor prices. The 2020 is 23K higher than ave price of a used 2018 in our area, Vancouver WA. Funny i never paid attention to my painted door handles, great info on how to know if 802 or not, thanks.

    Premium vs. Plus vs. Regular

    Here in the Northwest we only get 92 for Premium. Haven't had confidence in any of the off the shelf octane boost products but Torco Accelerator has been recommended supposed to not harm the O2 sensors or cat converter.
