Here's an interesting piece of info...put my vin into that decoder and for fuel
Type it says "flexible". Now unless I missed something on here up till now the 6.2's in the superdutys were flex but not in the raptors. Did something change for '13?
Sierra, I've seen that also in the Raptor Supplement manual on ford's support page. It says....

"OCTANE RECOMMENDATIONS
Regular unleaded gasoline with a
pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87 is
recommended.."

Also says...

"Fuels with octane levels below 87 are not
recommended. Premium fuel will provide improved performance and is
recommended for severe duty usage such as trailer tow."

So paying an extra $0.10/gallon may not be a waste afterall, to pay an extra $3 on a whole tank.

And I called my dealer to tell them the news and they were like "how do you know that? Let me check. You are correct. And I have your VIN". Good times!

good news for me, or at least better news than no news.
Build Date is 11-05-12 with a VIN # 1FTFW1R62DFA65215

VIN doesnt seem to be in the windows sticker system yet, but it might take a bit longer for that.

Some progress is better than no progress.

Called SVT and have a build date of Oct 25th!!!

Ordered August 3rd - DORA August 6th - Wheel liners removed from order Sept 28th - VIN from Blood (thanks!!!) on Oct 9th - build date from SVT Oct 25th - ETA of Nov 5th.

I don't think she'll make the Nov 5th ETA and still no Window sticker yet.
