What gas are you using?

Nice so 87 is the minimum we can use. Just wonder if you will feel the difference?

Ok I have a bucees 15 minutes away thanks

Absolutely feel the difference. With the gas the dealer provided, my truck was surging and transmission acted like it was on crack...hard shifting, fell out of gear once, got hung in 6th once. After burning through the cheap gas, I put 93 octane in it and it feels like a different truck. I'm not sure how it would act with 91, but I would stay far away from 87.

Ok I'll put 91 for sure and 93 if I come across it.

I would probably use 91 if I could get it.

Only choices here in GA are 87,89, and 93.

Dealer filled with 87 initially, and then I filled with 93.

Honestly could tell absolutely NO difference. Ran identical on both.

Dont know what to put in next tank full. Maybe I'll try diesel. The ecoboost 3.5 is such an amazing design and engine that it could probably handle it just fine!
(hopefully sasquatch could comment on that)

I would try 89 and see if you notice a difference

Do you actually believe that the increase in octane made your tranny operate better???

If so, then I have an improved and updated special edition of the pedal commander that I'd like to sell you. It even improves the steering response and the suspension!

I've used 87 through 10 tanks and have had zero issues. I was going to jump to 91 as soon as I heard or felt something off but that has yet to happen sooooo idk. I might go to 91 for summer time since it's so hot here.

I might do the same use 91 in the summer and when its cooler use 87 or 89.

I only use the pure flatulence of the Arch Griffin = 91. In Georgia, they want you to use the gas from unicorns, 93 as they don't have Arch Griffins.

So with some alchemy, I mix 2 parts 93 with 1 part 87 to get 91 at every fill up.

On second thought, it wouldnt be pure 91 gas.. more synthetic.

Hey, the gas question has only been asked 3 times, so its relevant! Now the oil question... 4. thats pushing it.
