[QUOTE="jaz13, post: 1226574, member: 24095"] If your truck was tuned to run 104 octane, then that would be a good idea. But a stock Raptor is optimized for 91 so you won't see a difference. But lucky for you Ford engineers were smart enough to include a retard tune because they knew knuckleheads would use cheap gas and Ford didn't want to pay for your warranty repairs. If anyone with an 802 wants to know when higher octane fuel is beneficial, change your transmission temperature to the turbo gauge. Anytime the turbo pressure is above 0, your truck would be producing more power and consuming less fuel if you were using premium.[COLOR="Red"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR] First year depreciation is typically between 10 and 20%. On the Raptor that would be between $7k and $14k for most builds. If you bought the Raptor assuming it won't depreciate, you are going to have a bad time. Ford made more G2s in 8 months than they did in any year of G1 production. These new Raptors are going to depreciate just like any other mass produced vehicle. Let's flip the question around, how much would you be willing to pay for a 1 year old Raptor with 12k miles on it? Most dealers are selling for MSRP these days, so obviously less than that right?
