[QUOTE="EricM, post: 1941578, member: 20286"] 87 is fine in the 6.2L. Once you factor in the huge uptick in cost for premium vs 87, any MPG savings from the V6 is a wash at best- and it might cost more out of pocket despite the higher MPGeeez. $4.69 vs $3.55 for 92 vs 87 here. Premium is 32% more expensive. My Gen 1 has averaged 13.5 MPG over the last 30K miles I've owned it. You'd need to avg nearly 18 MPGs with the premium fuel to get the same mileage per dollar spent. I've not seen any Gen 2 or Gen 3 guys averaging 18 MPGs. That said, you can run the EB V6 on 87 as well, but it's going to knock- and when it does, the engine will pull timing/power. You could split the differnce and only run high octane in the summer when the EB engine is more prone to pre-igintion/detonation, and run the cheaper stuff in the spring/fall/winter when the intake air is cold and the intercooler is super efficient.
