Default what octane you all using

I'm shopping raptor and read 93 preferred but will run on 87. I really don't wanna pay $120 to 140 a month extra just for gas.
Anyone using 87 without issue?

I have a 2019 that I drive like and old man….and I am. Ha

The only time mine goes off road is when I pull into my grandsons gravel driveway…otherwise an asphalt queen.

Anyway, I started off with premium, tried a few tanks of mid-grade and have been running regular for 8 months. Absolutely no issues at all, no change in mpg, or starting or passing or power for my kind of driving. I changed spark plugs last week and they looked perfect…truck has 57,000 miles. The owners manual says regular is ok, especially for my style of driving. If I hot rodded it (like when I was younger) I’d go for premium. With a 36 gallon tank, $.40+ per gallon adds up. Good luck.

just picked it up today so I’ll roll with 87, thanks for letting me know.
