Hi Scotty

I have a 2024 Ford Bronco 2.7L Outer Banks and I am wondering if the 87 octane gas is ok to use.  I am not planning on towing or going off-road.  I will be going to a town in the mountains from time to time.

The instruction guide is confusing. It says you can use 87 but for optimal engine performance, it's suggests 91 octane

My wife's Mustang is powered by an EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine. She has always used regular gasoline. Unless you drive 0-60 as fast as possible all the time and you're timing yourself, regular gas is fine.

exactly right. Which part confused you?

 

"Optimal performance" means a few extra horsepower.
