Is it worth running in this truck? There is a source near me and the cost for 87 is 10% higher than the 10% Ethanol stuff. With an expected fuel economy improvement of maybe 5% the extra cost is a non issue.
I have used the premium before in a turbo Subaru and the engine really responded well. I suspect that I may not see much difference in the 5.7 …. comments? I am especially interested to know if there will be any benefit while towing a 6000 lb trailer.
The station is a brand new Maverik. I know some people don’t care for the brand, but I have never had a problem with their gas.
Even if there is no difference in the performance I may keep using it. I have always opposed growing food (corn) and then converting it to fuel. It never made sense to me. If I were a farmer, I suppose I would welcome it…
Thanks,
