Premium Fuel

[camoedoutlander]

on my 2019 platinum i always used 87, when i end up in a raptor it will be tuned to require a minimum of 91.

Only 93 octane from Costco since day one.

I only run Cosco premium in my 18.

Regardless of the fuel used (87, 89, 93 Octane) they ALL STILL CONTAIN ETHANOL. The fuel injectors will slowly lose efficiency and should be cleaned as ethanol causes issues with injectors and will slowly damage the fuel rails. You can clearly see it on a Dyno and drop in performance. Far too much proof and documentation on the issues with ethanol. Ford won't clean your injectors and will only replace them ($200each vs $25each getting them cleaned). Better fuel helps performance but if you don't keep your injectors cleaned (don't waste money on the crap they recommend putting in the fuel) you won't have optimal performance. Ethanol free fuel is better but still have your injectors cleaned. They have micro-sized trash baskets in them that will plug off with any kind of trash. I've had Gen 1, 2, and 3 Raptors - keeping the injectors clean makes a difference in all of them.

How do you get your injectors cleaned?

In Dallas - the only gas that has been in my Gen 3 is Sam's Club 93.

Ive been running regular and literally am getting the exact same MPG and notice no difference in performance. I did both in my 19 and 22 to compare and had the same results.

Drink Canada dry, eh? lol

Canada Dry, good stuff?! It's Vernors or nothing

And yes, fed my Gen 2 93 every time and continue to do it for the Gen 3

If you're running 87, sell it. Allow a better owner to occupy the seat.

IJK - put 87 in... duck it. Its 2022..

Yes Sir, only the finest vintage.

Always use premium, truck runs better and I get about 15 MPG as opposed to 14 MPG-Gen 1.
