Does using 93 octane really increase HP that much
Based on how you say your drive, I can't believe that you do not already have a tune installed. Getting an MPT tune was the best money ever spent!!!! A ton more power and performance without all of the over revving, holding gears ridiculously long, etc... that Sport mode causes.
Thank y'all so much for the feedback! Definitely will try the 93 when I run through this tank... what's another $20 a tank at this point!
This is my first turbo and had not considered that. Should have known better. Was not trying to be cheap, honestly had not thought about it. Seems like it should almost be one of the things mentioned in the Raptor "Supplement" a little more prominently than it is in the "regular" F150 Manual. Bottom line, though is that it is on me for not using a little more common sense about a performance vehicle needing performance fuel...
See that there has been quite a bit of debate on this elsewhere on the site and somehow had missed the whole thing in the documentation about "recommended" vs. "minimal." Now if I could just find some hot weather around here to really notice those performance gains like the Owners Manual says... Looks like it will only be 100 tomorrow...
...and will look into the tunes. Was just on the MPT site and it seems most interesting...
One thing I neglected to mention in the original post is that unless I forget to, always turn off the Auto Stop "feature." I guess if that is what is causing me to get 13.0mpg instead of 35mpg or something like that I would reconsider...naw, I wouldn't. I HATE that "feature!"
