![]() Hi everyone! I don't own a Mustang myself yet (looking into the 05
![]() Anyways as you all know gas hasn't been cheap lately and V8s are not kind on fuel mileage. ![]() He has been using Octane 93 on it so far but we were wondering what Ford actually suggests to use for his car? Can regular (87 octane) be used on his car? Thanks in advanced! |

![]() every penny he spent on 93 was wasted!!!! you only need 93 when you have higher compression or bumped timming. If he is running a blower or has an aggressive speed chip he needs higher octane. If it is stock tell him to quit wasting his money!
