I started with premium in January. I was getting 19.8 mpg consistently. I read through some info on the 2.3 and everything said no need for premium. When prices really starting creeping up I was looking for a reason to switch to 87. I called an engineer I know and talked through what I thought I understood and what Ford's documentation was saying. He said I would probably get better mileage with the 87 and maybe a slight boost in power with the premium if any at all. I switched to the 87. I have had my preventative maintenance done since switching as well so they may be a part of it, but I am at 22mpg now and have not noticed any difference in the drive or power. I had it off road with premium, but not since switching to 87. I don't plan on switching back to the premium either after talking to the mechanic I use on a regular he also stated premium will be better for older cars, but now everything is dialed in and compensated for 87 so keep to 87.
