Just out of curiosity I was wondering what fuel most people are running in their Broncos on a daily basis? I know they can run on regular fuel just fine but Ford says there is a power increase for running Premium. I have a 2.7 Sasquatch and average about 1,500-2,000 miles a month. Right now I have been running mid grade and occasionally putting in some premium. What about y'all?

In Colorado our reg gas is actually 85 octane bc of the high elevation.
I voted for reg, but I will always ALWAYS put Top Tier brand fuels in mine.

My first few tanks were premium.....too pricey nowadays to keep that going.

I plan on using premium but am curious if it is wise to switch it up from regular to premium from time to time. If we pick one grade of gas, is it wise to just stick with it? or can we switch it up?

I use 93 when it’s warmer temperatures and 87 during the winter. Just an old habit.

93 for me. I don't like leaving extra HP on the table :)

Only 93 octane and an oil change every 3,000 miles.

Oil Change every 3k? The oil companies LOVE you!

The Bronco owners manual says 7500-10000 under normal driving conditions, 3000-5000 under severe conditions.

The 3k oil change standard is from forever ago when engines were crap and blow-by burned up oil. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason to follow it with modern engines. The oil companies aren't gonna tell you that, why would they? It's like the "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" slogan. Everyone just takes it for granted but that slogan was actually started by the Apple industry, TO SELL APPLES...

I go with 93 in everything I have, my 3.5 teriyaki tornado f-150 loves it. I want the most power out of it, so I plan on doing the same with the bronco.

I can't dictate what my wife does, but she knows I always put 93 from Costco (E10) in my Flex for the performance. It costs the same as midgrade around here.
I'm in Wisconsin so most gas stations offer 87, 89, and 91 with 91 being ethanol-free for small engines.
