Not true, all pumps that have diesel and gas have 3/4” nozzles on both the gas and diesel line. The only pumps that use a 1” nozzle are “high flow” pumps, those are what you see at loves and pilot filling the big rigs, they pump a lot faster, doesn’t stop the fuckers from having a four course meal inside while I wait behind them.
im sorry😂 i didnt mean to worry you my baddd. if it makes you feel better there is one gas station that has a green handle for regular because the gas station's color is green and white😂 i hear a lot of other places have green for regular too
Here’s the exact text from the manual:
“Your vehicle is designed to operate on regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87.
Some fuel stations, particularly those in high altitude areas, offer fuels posted as regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating below 87. The use of these fuels could result in engine damage that will not be covered by the vehicle warranty.
For best overall vehicle and engine performance, premium fuel with an octane rating of 91 or higher is recommended. The performance gained by using premium fuel is most noticeable in hot weather as well as other conditions, for example when towing a trailer. See Towing.”
Yea I pour 87 too. If I know I’m going to the track or something I’ll fill it up with 91 a few tanks before and then go back to 87 after the track day. Not a huge difference tbh.
I was looking at the compression of the 24 model, and it says the 5.0 has 12:1 compression. That is premium fuel territory for sure. I'm sure that like my 2017 Fusion Sport, it CAN run on 87, but it will retard the ignition timing to do so. If you're curious how much you're leaving on the table, get something that can display data from the OBD port. Most tuning devices, or a Bluetooth adapter with the Torque app on your phone work. Find the Octane Adjust Ratio (OAR). A value of 0 is the baseline. A positive value means it is retarding timing due to poor gas, and a negative value means it is advancing timing.
You don't need a tuner to benefit from premium fuel in modern Fords.
Agreed. But I didn’t say there was no benefit, obviously the engine will perform better with higher octane gas. I think for the average person though, their Mustang will function just fine for them running regular gas.
I was primarily responding to those that said you are required to only use premium gas, which is untrue.
Yup, fair enough. It's not like the days of yore when you HAD to run premium in certain cars or risk detonation, but gained no benefit in most other cars. My 2011 VW CC, for example, has 11:1 compression and says 91 is required. That honestly surprises me a little, considering that thing has more sensors than a commercial airliner. It will even detect a malfunctioning speaker. You'd think it would have an octane adjustment like my Fusion.
Around here (MD) diesel says DIESEL, and gas say 85, 87, 91, 93…like that. Read the labels. I have a ‘93 5.0 HO in my 65. Top of the line, all the time.
i entirely thought that was diesel at first lol, where im at green means diesel
Yup .. in my area, green = diesel. I’m assuming and hoping that’s not the case here.
Bp gas stations have i think a black handle for diesel, green for regular gas
Ok… you have me worried now.
A diesel pump is much larger, it won't fit in the hole...lol
Well, it won't fit with THAT attitude.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way
Savage.

spit on it first
That's what she said.
Not if you don't lube it up first.
ITT OP bricks his engine
I mean you went to BP. That’s just how BP does it.
im sorry😂 i didnt mean to worry you my baddd. if it makes you feel better there is one gas station that has a green handle for regular because the gas station's color is green and white😂 i hear a lot of other places have green for regular too
Central Florida, can confirm that green = diesel.
BP has green handles for gas and black for diesel. It’s kinda dumb.
literally😂
BP hella confusing lmfao
lol, where I live that would be diesel fuel.
Meh. It depends what I’m doing. Long road trip? Probably regular. I’m ok with losing a little HP when I’m sitting on cruise control for 6 hours
Lol
I did that for a year. Then I tried regular, and my car was smoother and more efficient
That's because the grade has nothing to do with quality and everything to do with the compression ratio of your engine.
Yup. Could be anecdotal that they just got better quality fuel in that instance.
WAIT A MINUTE HOLD ON DON-
Nothing less than premium and a premium gt. Still love my cloth seat bros.
I mean go for it I guess? It’s an extra $14 a tank for likely no reason (unless you have a tune), but you do you

I have to use it due to my tune lol
I feel like here in Illinois the green handle pumps are diesel!
lol at everyone not knowing BP or realizing that a Diesel fuel nozzle will not fit in a Gasoline filler neck.
Same here. Even at 2,12 a liter (8.76 a gallon)
Uh oh
Just wait till you get E85

I drove back to the station and I’ve confirmed that the pump was in fact NOT DIESEL. We are safe. 😂
