Regular or Premium

I plan on buying an 04 Limited with 4 wheel drive and the V8. Which fuel is recommended? Does anyone run 87 octane in this configuration in California? Or is 91 necessary?

Responses are greatly appreciated.

Wow that was a fast response! Thank you.

I am just concearned that CA fuel is not up to par with you AK fuel.

I have a Mustang Cobra right now that has pinged on Premium fuel since the day I bought it. People in other states have not had the same problems as I and other Cobra owners in CA have had.

I really am looking forward to getting rid of my Cobra. And after my test drive of a V8 04, I won't be missing too much acceleration. That V8 package is suprisingly strong.

87 here...
if ya want to throw in some 91/92, it's okay too btw.... and if ur feelin pretty friendly, you can hook me up with some 91/92 too ;)

gas is gas.... unless ur racing it's a waste of $$....

Well, When I had my turbo'd civic and wanted to run higher than 91 octane I put in 91 octane and then some tolulene and that raises the octane by about 10 points, I know I could have run with the octane booster stuff but was told by a mechanic buddy of mine that tolulene is much better. Never had a problem with running tolulene.
