Im at 7900 miles. I have definitely run more 87 than I have 93. It has been fine and haven't noticed a big difference in mpg. I pretty much only run premium when I have a bunch of kroger fuel points saved up. Like today, I had 50 cents off a gallon so I got premium for like 3.19

$4.11?! Where are you, France?

6000 miles/17 miles is approx 350 gallons x .50= $175

I'm going to do some testing, if 91 gives a big enough mpg boost to offset the cost I'll run it, otherwise I'm perfectly happy with 275hp.

We are paying about that for premium as well. Portland, OR market.

Looking forward to this data.

I'm also at 6,400 miles and I've only put premium in it. Every time I get to the pump I just end up saying screw it and putting 93 in. Sport mode is really peppy and I like that....

My intention before doing a similar test - "ok we're doing this for science. be consistent, validate your data."

reality - "330 horsepower and sport mode lets goooooo!!"

conclusion: inconclusive

With 2500 miles I’ve run mainly 87 with a few fill ups with premium. Sport mode with premium it’s super peppy. Even in a 4 door, SAS, 2.3. Really like the sound of the turbo.

Must be nice to have that cheap gas…

Probably. I've not noticed a power change in other vehicles. Some people report lower mpg, but I have not noticed that. And for the price difference, use the lower unless it knocks.

The Bronco is a bargain to fill with premium, my TRX had a 33 gallon tank that also received premium, and I was lucky to get 310 miles per tank.
