I was not doing much today and I started thinking about the difference in using regular or premium in my RV. It is written in other forums that the Ford V10 performance and mileage will improve on 93 octane vs 87. So I took to the calculator and using 300 miles of travel with regular being $4.22 and premium at $5.34 per gal. (That’s what it is around here) I also figured 8mpg on regular and 10mpg on premium.
Well, the cost of fuel would nearly be the same running premium or regular. So if you do get better mileage by 2 mpg you can run premium and get some of the other benefits it would provide,
I also played with the idea of using regular gas and adding octane booster. It is a little cheaper then using premium, but I’m not sure it’s worth the hassle.
Anyway, just thinking.
