It won't hurt anything but it will make your wallet lighter with little realized difference. The only reason I'm running higher than 87 right now is to minimize a knock and ping in my engine until the deposits are burnt off. Once that's done, back to 87 I go!

Lol u mad bro. It literally takes me no extra time to check my grammar on my iPhone. All you have to do is double click space when you want to end your sentence. Also, if that picture gets you worked up because your grammar sucks, you need to develop some thicker skin. Plus, it makes it easier for the people trying to help you when you use decent grammar.

To answer your question you can run higher octane but it's pointless unless you feel like your car would benefit from it. Some people say it gives your car more power, but that is a myth that came from powerful engines needing it to avoid preignition.

I run premium in all our trucks. The expedition gets a conisderable increase in MPGs. About 35 per tank. The ranger seems to run better.

As for the math, its cheap, really. Say 87 is $3.50 a gallon. 93 is $3.70. It will cost $70 to fill up (20 gal) with 87, or a not so bad $74 for 93.

Now, lets say for arguments sake the ranger gets 20mpg. If you GAIN a mere 20 miles on a tank, the premium has more than payed for itself!

DON'T TYPE LIKE A TWAT!

this isn't a text message to one of your little friends about how fucked up on 3 mike's hard lemonades you're gonna get this weekend. It's fucking impossible for anyone to understand what you're asking, need to know, etc. when you type like you're hitting your phone with your forehead. This is a forum where people help each other, and your typing/grammar is one of those things that needs help.
