Forgive me but I am not clear on this. My understanding is that on the 2.3 you can run 92 and the engine will adjust, providing more torque/hp.
When looking at the numbers on the 2.3L tune (https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-9603-B23), it says premium fuel "required." Is the premium fuel just required to hit the higher outputs, or does it mean you can no longer run 85/87?
We travel regularly to Mexico and some of our favorite places (bahia de los angeles) occasionally find themselves without gasoline, or more commonly they only have the "verde" which is 87. Being able to switch to lower octane fuel without damaging the engine is something I'd like to preserve.
