87 vs. 91 Octane (again?)
Guys - kind of new to the Raptor world after having a supercharged F150 Harley truck. Been trying to figure out if I should use 91 (all we get in OK) or stay with 87 octane. The HD only used 91 or 93! Did some math to se if it makes sense to get the good stuff and the results are that if I can get 1.5 - 2 MPG more with 91 the cost per mile (not per tank) is the same or less.
Here's what I came up with - please excuse format error from cut & paste:
Gas price Gallons Cost MPG Miles C P M
Reg $3.31 36 $119.16 13.80 496.8 $0.240
