"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.
Really? I though you were done?
I don't know how you can miss the big 87 OCTANE and the words "designed for 87" in the owners manual link that you posted. Here let me show you a the image just incase you cannot click on your own link.

It clearly states that the EB is designed to run on 87 -BUT- for over all performance (which is in the form of MORE POWER) then they recommend 91. PUTC even backed it up by posted how much power is gained by running premium. I don't know where you are getting that they recommend only or at all times especially when they just state that you can if you want more power. You don't need to run the truck on premium because it was designed to run on 87(like it clearly states) unlike the 6.2 which was designed to run on premium. If you want more performance, then you can run premium.
I know you have this undying hate for me, but that is no reason to brush of the facts.
