Question for Ecoboost owners towing

Unless you are really working the truck to the max and in the mountains, I really don't think Premium gas is a "have to" situation. Your truck out on the flats will do just fine. Up in the mountains it might be a different story but I'm talking extreme conditions.

Not trying to be argumentative at all EcoboostKev, but how does premium give you piece of mind? It's not like this is a warranty issue, whereby Ford would be denying claims without the use of premium.
Over the life of the truck (I am assuming by your comments that you run premium all the time, although I could easily be wrong) that 5 or 6 per tank will add up to significant dollars.
I'll admit I am still on the fence about this.

Fair enough, and point well taken. We are picking up the new 5'r on Friday. The initial trip will be local for a shakedown cruise. The next trip we'll go a little further. Perhaps I'll give it a go on premium. Especially once we are in NY and overall it's cheaper anyway.
