Hi Donald,
I would use Premium fuel only and Mid Grade in a pinch.
Sure the computer will compensate for the lower octane but fuel mileage
and performance WILL suffer.

In my neck of the woods it's 3.529 vs 3.729.
It's just always been 10 cents per grade in recent years.
At 1.50 vs 1.70, 87 looks good.

I think you need a new mechanic, the 103 104 and later cars need at least 91 to
run right. They say you have to run premium in the 420 and 560 but you can
actually get away with regular in those cars.

We run regular in the 560 SL's, but they'll ping in high summer
when you put your foot in it. So they tend to get premium then.

Actually, his use of comprise was correct.
My 92 Volvo was 10% better MPG 87 vs 93, no ethanol. Ran several tanks of
87 on a consistent commute to arrive at that conclusion.
I gather premium only benefits cars designed to use it, so I have not tried
it in the Ford.
