What fuel do you run in your EcoBoost pickup? (not HO)

I would like to hear from those of you that own an EcoBoost pickup which octane fuel you run. Have you tried other octanes and what difference did you notice? This excludes the Raptor and the new Li...

SHO, might take advantage of the higher octane, F150 won't.

WRT to better fuel economy, higher octane fuel has LOWER Btu's of energy. If an engine is tuned to take advantage of the higher octane, then it will realize increased HP.

I run 93 in my Charger and challenger, they are both tuned to 93 octane. F150 gets 87... and besides when towing, even if there was a increased fuel economy, it most certainly wouldn't make up for the cost. I don't need a hot rod when towing :)
