Fuel Survey
Just curious what octane fuel everyone will be using for their new GT. I ran high test (92) in my previous gt's. I'm sure my question is answered in the owners manual.

me personally ill be running regular most of the time except if i want to go to track(rare)
IMHO running a good name brand regular is better than running a higher octane cheap gas.

Can't get 93 out here. And with 87 topping $3 this week it looks like that's what I'll be running except for a few fun tanks of 91 when I have a few extra bucks. Thankfully my stock Bullitt tune lets me choose.

We have 93 here, and its what I run now in my '02 GT only because I randomly like to spray my 100 shot of N2O.
With the '11 on order I'll be running 91, the recommended.
And +1 on brand being a bigger factor. Get a Mobil or Sunoco and not Manny's Corner Gas Station.

Same here. Oregon has only had 91 until the past few years when 10% eth was mandated year round. Then it crept to 92. But I think that's because ethonal has a higher octane (though lower energy) content. So I think its still 91 octane dinosaur with 10% eth mixed in.
I don't know how or why some areas get 94??

They ran RON 98 (93 US AKI) in the SAE J1349 Certification and made 416/394.
They are allowed a +/- 1% variance so rated it at 412/390.
They made 404/381 on RON 91 (87 US AKI).
Again derated to 400/377.
