Reading the owners manual, it says 89 gasoline is recommended as it using Top Tier gasoline. The only Top Tier gasoline available locally does not hav

Then there are those who just want all of what we paid for so we run 89 octane. It's $2-$5 a tank difference depending on your local prices and how low you let your tank run. If that is what's going to make or break you paying your bills you probably shouldn't be driving a new $40+k truck.

It won’t break me if I run 89. I use it when towing. Otherwise it’s just wasting beer money on gas for no reason.

There is a reason, the owners manual even tells you the reason in black and white. You choose to handicap your truck to save some pocket change, that's on you.

93 always. Its only 50 cents more than 89. Shell Nitro+, liquid gold! LOL

Unless you are tuned for it, there is no benefit for running higher than 89.

Average priced low end production pickup. The $40k really has nothing to do with pissing money away daily.

I drink the water from my tap at home too. It comes from a well and it's good water.

I could drink Berg for about $40/fifth but don't see the need in drinking a melted iceberg when my well does the trick.

There are suckers born every day though. Are you one?

better/more detergents claims Shell. But that might be a marketing thing for $$.

The detergents shouldnt be any different between 87 to 93. They are both top tier fuels.

Comparing drinking water to fuel is a bit of a stretch. And personally good well water is better than anything from a bottle. I grew up on artesian well water. Untreated, unfiltered and wonderful.

It doesn’t say that. It says 87 to 89, and use 89 for optimal performance. Mpg is not different between the two for me. So if I’m just highway driving to work, what’s the point of throwing money away? I don’t need 400hp for that.

Well water straight from the ground is the best! I like when you can taste the minerals. I had many 8 inch wells on the farm. They were the best

I'll never understand why someone buys a truck to drive to work on the highway, and then cares about saving a few hundred bucks a year to neuter it.

So I’ll have a truck when I need it. Sucks to have to borrow one. Plus the interior is noice!

You'd still have a truck if you went with the better gears and ran better gas in it.

Guess I should just get a TRX then. By that logic, I’d still have a truck too.

If you could get a TRX for a few hundred dollars more, you wouldn't do it?

I run 87 top tier, Costco or Kwik star/trip! Even fully loaded and pulling small camper, never had any power issues!

It says run 89 for best performance and fuel economy. So you are handicapping the truck. It's not about racing or only WOT performance.

Nope it isn’t about racing, ever. And 87 had plenty of WOT if you’re not pulling a trailer.

Weird. Never would have thought that.

Not for a truck that makes 8 mpg. Not practical for me.
