But you are never wrong. So I am done.
Why are you not posting all that it says?
Here, let me post what you are not wanting to post....
"Your vehicle is designed to operate on regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87.
Some fuel stations, particularly those in high altitude areas, offer fuels posted as regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating below 87. We do not recommend these fuels.
For best overall vehicle and engine performance(i.e. POWER) , premium fuel with an octane rating of 91 or higher is recommended. The performance(i.e. POWER) gained by using premium fuel is most noticeable in hot weather as well as other conditions, for example when towing a trailer. See Towing a Trailer. "
Again, it is designed to run on regular, but if you want more power, then run premium. How is this so hard to comprehend?
"what I am not wanting to post"? Really? Seems to me I am the one that posted the link to the owners manual.
The link, which CLEARLY states that "for best overall vehicle and engine performance, premium fuel with an octane rating of 91 or higher is recommended".
You can add your own adjective of "power" if you want. Ford did not put it in there. You did. Maybe they wanted to say for the best engine longevity, use premium. Maybe they wanted to say "for the smoothest performance, use premium".
The owners manual states they recommend Premium. They don't say why. I take it at face value.
The sky is blue. Let's argue about that.
