my friend said i should put higher octane gas in my car because it'll ruin my fuel injectors...i put the lowest one in my car which might be 87 or somewhere around there...i have a '93 mustang 5.0 what do you guys think on which octane i should use?
Good points here, I usually swap tanks rotating between 93 octane and 89. (super and mid-grade) I find it less expensive to do this and the performance of the car doesn't really suffer all that much:burnout:Originally posted by MINI_ME
You can run whatever you want in the 5.0 if its stock...however the higher the octane the cleaner the fuel will burn and the better gas milage you will get and posible a few more HP's :burnout:

You have a lot to learn then... (You subscribe to the more$ =better theorem. I like guys like you when I am selling stuff at the swap meet.) You need to read up on this. All the car mags have done plenty of stories explaining why you are wrong. Check out back issues of Car Craft, Hot Rod, Motor Trend, and MM&FF. They have all run stories explaining why higher octane does nothing if it isn't REQUIRED. IF you can't use the higher octane benefits, you are wasting your money. It's not like synthetic oil where spending the extra money is giving you a benefit...
