That's what 23 mpg? I have just run a tank of premium and i get about 1.5 to 2 mpg better so far. Im avg 21 mpg with premium and it was 19 with regular.

There is no difference in mpg to make it worth the extra money. I call the post bogus.

Been running Shell 91 in mine for over a year. One trip on rural roads from Yarmouth to new Minas Nova Scotia averaged 8.9l per 100 Kms.

yeah me too, I have the ecoboost and I run 93 all of the time let me update mine, I seen the difference running the 93 octane, then I bought the Livewire Ts with the unleashed 93 per. tune I need the higher octane i can`t go back with stock tune, love the smoothness and extra torque and horsepower

So you're spending about $10-15 extra per tank for premium and getting about 60 extra miles (assuming you have a 30 gallon tank), saving you less than 3 gallons (@ $4) or $12. Hey, if it makes you happy, keep it up!

I ran 91 a few weeks back on a road trip and I got 712 miles one one tank. Stopped for fuel once computer said 60 to E. Did the math and it was 20.94 mpg's at 78 on CC. Same trip last year on 86 only got me 641 miles on 36 gallon fill up, 17.7mpg's

The power is great when I would jump on it, does feel diff from regular fuel. No diff in mpg's when city driving so I save the 91/93 for high travel.

I have gotten roughly the same numbers on diff trips so it wasn't just a one time thing.

They only way you would get better mileage with premium is if the 87 is e10, if 87 is not e10 there is zero difference, its in your head.
