Gas Grade
i am used to driving cavaliers and such, so i was curious what type of gas do u use in your mustangs?
its a 5.0, do they need 91 octane? or is the cheap stuff ok to use? some cars need premium, and others its a waste to put in premium so what do you use? |
As far as I know, regular was recommended by Ford for the 5.0. If you've bumped your timing at all you'll want to run a higher octane though :)

I run regular old 87 octane the majority of the time. That's all it calls for in the owners manual. Every once in a while I blow a tank of 94 through her though. She's a stocker, so why bother with the extra expense?
|
yeah save your $$$, if she is stock just run the cheap stuff.
|
Only the '96+ Cobras/Mach 1s are supposed to run premium, I run regular in my 5.0 with 12deg of timing, ran it with 14 deg of timing a few years back too, no problems, I always run premium in my Cobra though.
|
ok thanks for the help, shes stock minus some bolt-ons.
|
As long as your timing isn't bumped, or you're not running a lot more ait through it than it came from the factoy 87 will do you (not that it's cheap right now at 101.9 :bleh: )
|
87 will do just fine for ya!
|
even if you're timing is bumped, as long as you don't hear any pinging, you're fine. I have mine bumped to 14 and I still run regular with no problems.
