i heard a rumor that it is bad for ford engine i was shocked should i just put regular in ??

MustangMatt96GT · August 3rd, 2007, 07:47 PM

I will always run 91 Shell in my car otherwise I get a CEL. But if you are not tuned for it the regular stuff should work fine for you!

jersey98gt · August 3rd, 2007, 08:13 PM

87 octane is enough stock, though at higher elevations you must increase the octane rating. matt that sucks you can only use 91 around by me sunoco sells 94

MustangMatt96GT · August 3rd, 2007, 08:15 PM

yeah we dont have chevron stations or sunoco stations! Shell 91 is the best I can get with out going to 98 octance race fuel! lol yeah it does suck

espescally because I pay 3.29 for 91 where everywhere else cost 3.29 for 93.

You get my drift at least, I am paying the same you guys are paying for 93 and I am only getinng 91!

ujslost · August 3rd, 2007, 08:27 PM

2.80 ish here

kennyGT · August 3rd, 2007, 11:19 PM

damn! i sometimes see it for 2.92 and i go crazy filling up my car lol

Ryan Paymaster · August 4th, 2007, 01:10 AM

I'm shafted into running 93 exclusively here in Illinois. Then again, the 32v requires it.

I think some places only have 92 unless I'm not remembering correctly. BP and any large name station has 93, as it is the "common premium" around here. 92 is at weird ones like Jewel Express, Meijer, etc. I stick to large name gas stations. However, if I go on the right day I can pick up 93 for a little under 3 dollars a gallon. They offer 15 cents off a gallon on certain days.

I don't see the need to run any higher in the car. If there was a Chevron/Sunoco around here, I'd probably do it for kicks. Only place to get Sunoco is the track, and its octane rating is obviously far too high.

Yep I've got 32 valves as well... so premium all the way. 99% of pumps in WA offer 87, 89, and 92 octanes. I stick to Chevron or 76 and right now the CHEAPEST 92 octane is $3.10/gal here. Lowest it's been all year.

kennyGT · August 4th, 2007, 01:51 AM

5months ago 93 was 2.25 down here...i miss those days :

jersey98gt · August 4th, 2007, 03:23 AM

2.57 regular 2.65 mid grade and 2.71 premium by me right now

kennyGT · August 4th, 2007, 04:05 AM

whats your premium 91 or 93?

jersey98gt · August 4th, 2007, 01:26 PM

93

Dennis · August 4th, 2007, 02:21 PM

ford recommends 87 in all mustangs exept cobras your owners manual also says what to run running anything higher has absolutley no advantages but it does how ever waste precious money you could spend on other shit

That statement couldn't be more true!

burlingtonNC98GT · August 4th, 2007, 06:47 PM

dont 99 and up gt's require premium fuel because of the higher compression from the PI heads?

G.T. Rags · August 5th, 2007, 02:20 AM

99 gt's don't have higher compression

96-99 pi converted GT's have the higher compression
