Half my rationale of being okay with switching over to Sasquatch and taking the mpg hit was that the bronco calls for regular gas. It’ll be the equivalent of premium gas on a Land Rover / bmw (name your premium suv) that gets say 20mpg mix. Given output numbers with regular are still slightly higher than initially advertised I think I’ll still stick with regular.

nice numbers! I'll probably just get regular for 'regular' around town driving, don't need more power for my 5 min drive to the store or schools, LOL. But going on the trails and to the mountains I'll feed it the good stuff. Been doing that with my Tacoma too, though never really noticed much of a difference (if any), but that's a 18.5 year old engine.

Bronco will be a rocket in comparison :-D

Phew, the last one I looked up when I was underneath said it was a 10R60, they must have changed it since.
The only vehicle that uses the 10R60 is the Explorer.

I looked at it when I saw them in person. Looks like you could reach it with your hand if you crank the wheels all the way to the right. I don't think it will be an issue.

How about Top Tier premium...does that matter for hp/torque? Probably just good for keeping things clean...

It amazes me that you can gain that much HP just by using premium fuel.
It's worth noting this does not apply to every car. If its not advertised you can get more power on premium, then you can't get more power.

Odd that they list it with premium. 🤷‍♂️ Do they do that with the F150? Either way, mine will never see premium in the tank unless it comes with it.
Peak HP/Torque is always listed with premium, at least Ford does with their ecoboost stuff in my experience.

Welp, here's to another decade or so of using at least of using 91/93.

Oh, and don't forget to remind your salesman that you want your complimentary tank full of the good stuff or you'll leave the lot with low grade.
when you ask they will default to ...yes, but?

Well, indirectly, yes. Engine knock (ping) sensors have become increasingly sophisticated and the ECU can keep track of knock counts and can limit timing and boost accordingly. Better sensors and increased ECU processing speed have evolved so much of this can be done dynamically.

While there might be some very narrowly defined scenarios where this can be true, in the vast majority of driving scenarios in modern cars, the octane level of fuel will NOT improve MPG.

well over 1000
I fell down the rabbit hole of looking up 10R80 mustangs the other night. I wasn't sure why everyone was touting the 10spd auto over the stick shift. Hooooo boy. Makes the same engine much faster with just a transmission change.

It isn't hard to change in the first place, and the Big Bend I crawled under was easy to get to as well.
