exactly, but where I live, its like 90c difference from 93 at sams/costco to regular stations often enough.
No one "ever" said using 87 in an EB was going to cause it to blow up. Nothing could be further from the truth. But EB's used in other vehicles are not tuned exactly as they are in a Mustang. I doubt many F150 owners are going WOT all the time. If you're going to drive an EB like a truck 87 is just fine. If you're going to drive it like the performance car it is, better get 91/93.
Wow, that's a lot. My Costco is Regular - $2.619 & Premium - $2.959
Right so then you finally admit it's okay to use 87 that was the whole point, 99% of people are not driving like maniacs every chance they get and who would be racing on 87, no one. There are engines that recommend or require premium in plain English, there is no reason why Ford would be hiding this or misleading to use 87 if it wasn't okay to do so it's just common sense.
the ecoboost community is bad about this, they tell newbies "You must run 91/93 or you will blow up" or "stock tune, you need colder plugs or you will blow up" both I disagree with, the tune and plugs should compliment each other, the stock plugs heat and stock tune are perfect together, why people convince people to go put colder plugs on brand new engines, under warranty to prevent something going wrong blows my mind.
I never denied it. Of course it's OK. But keep in mind this is a Mustang forum so your 99% doesn't hold up all that well. I never went too crazy but used to enjoying airing out my stock EB every now and then.
Ford isn't trying to hide or mislead. They are very clear that to obtain maximum performance you need higher octane fuel. Again for a pickup truck fine, for a Mustang not so much. As always JMHO.
I guess the problem is people speak here like it's fact when in reality its just opinions, no one is arguing to achieve maximum performance you use premium, you and other people are arguing 91 is a requirement, it is not EB and 5.0 recommend 87 and if you want maximum performance 91+, I know people would like to think Mustangs are race cars like a Mclaren but they are just budget sport car commuters with occational fun in between, Voodoo REQUIRES 91 in plain English I don't understand whats so difficult lol.

hes right ya know. ecoboost, it is literally here, just for economy reasons. hence eco'boost. 87 is more economical, its cool they have the ability to let it run 87 or 93, with power being the changing factor. thats a pretty nifty feature imo. I guarantee you 90% of ecoboost owners are running 87, we are a mustang community so you get more purist type people running premium, but yeah. I mostly see grandmas and old people driving ecoboost, and younger guys driving GT"sI guess the problem is people speak here like it's fact when in reality its just opinions, no one is arguing to achieve maximum performance you use premium, you and other people are arguing 91 is a requirement, it is not EB and 5.0 recommend 87 and if you want maximum performance 91+, I know people would like to think Mustangs are race cars like a Mclaren but they are just budget sport car commuters with occational fun in between, Voodoo REQUIRES 91 in plain English I don't understand whats so difficult lol
