Fuel grade required for the 2nd gen

What a surprise (not) that this thread is still going. It should've been 2 maybe 3 posts. That's FRF

 

[Truckzor]

Yep.

To recap, here's the only text that really matters: "For best overall vehicle and engine performance, premium fuel with an octane rating of 91 or higher is recommended. The performance gained by using premium fuel is most noticeable in hot weather as well as other conditions, for example when towing a trailer."

FRF - where the village idiots will be happy to debate you on what the definition of is is.

I agree with above 100%

But just to be complete should have added this from the Ford manual....

"Your vehicle is designed to operate on regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87."


Also, could add that many drivers do not haul/tow in hot weather and see absolutely NO difference in performance when using 87 so spending more on 91 is wasteful but may make you feel smarter than others.

FRF, where the village idiot thinks he should he able to edit Ford's owner's manual based on his feelings.

From the OM...

"For best overall vehicle and engine performance, premium fuel with an octane rating of 91 or higher is recommended. The performance gained by using premium fuel is most noticeable in hot weather as well as other conditions, for example when towing a trailer.

Do not be concerned if the engine sometimes knocks lightly."

Yes but you also put in what you think should be added, all based on your feelings.

You think your feels are better than Ford's engineering.

To recap today’s developments in this thread:

@Truckzor posts incomplete portion of Ford documentation.

@df4801 corrects @Truckzor, respectfully and politely, to which @Truckzor responds by referring to @df4801 as “FRF village idiot”.

@WhatExit then goes all factual on us and posts excerpts from the manual.

I posted the section of the manual that was relevant to the issue.

Let's definitely stick to facts.

Fact - Ford recommends 91 because it gives the highest performance.

Continuing to debate this fact based on your feelings makes you a village idiot.
