Top Tier Fuels is the most important, IMO. I'm not saying not to do the catch can though.

I've only run 93 octane from BP since I purchased the truck with 300 miles on it and its been great!

i have always run 91 oct since my first fill up. at 44500 or so miles now. i like the upr catch can. but not really getting if it is just a $400 preventive measure or if it is needed for long term reliability. any thoughts or clarification would be appreciated.

Lot's of threads and heated debates on this topic. Basically, if you think it's a good idea, run it. If you don't like the idea, don't.

There are quite a few Eco's over 200k miles now that run just fine and never had a catch can.

I personally think they are a good idea and it doesn't hurt anything to run one as long as you empty it when needed. The Full-race version is a very nice piece.

I'll echo Blown F-150's statement. You will find debates for and against them. In the end there is no scientific evidence showing they are needed, and also no evidence saying they are bad to have, so it is up to personal opinion.

I run an RX Speedworks/McNally mega catch can on my Eco and am personally glad that the mix that comes out of it every few weeks isnt in my engine.

As of today I've run 9184 gallons of fuel through my 2012 EB. If I ran all premium (in Iowa) I would have spent $2,938 more in less than 5 years!!

I've run 87/89 e-10 octane in my truck since it had 34 miles, it also has been great!

Goodness! Premium gas is that much more expensive in Iowa than regular gas? I usually end up paying only a few cents more per gallon for 93 octane than I would if I was buying 87. Plus, I love the throttle response I get from 93 octane. I have a buddy with a 2013 ecoboost with every performance upgrade on his truck that I have on mine except he runs 87 and I can definitely tell a difference.

In Pennsylvania, 93 is easily 30-40 cents more expensive than 87 per gallon. I run 93 as much as I can, but that's a big difference.

Wow, that is unfortunate! I guess its time for me to stop being a little girl about how expensive gas is and realize how expensive it could be.

Come up for a visit to Vancouver, BC. We pay $0.75 a gallon more for Premium...
