I went to Red McCombs Ford in San Antonio, and said that it takes regular, but the booklet says 91 is recommended and needed to get the horsepower numbers.

It is not to bad. Sometimes in 3rd gear when merging it will break traction going 65-75 and the steering will jerk a little. Makes for a fun time.

91 is recommended for best power out of this engine. It will run on regular though. Ethanol free in my opinion is the best for this motor. Ethanol just lowers the octane around here. I like my 91 Ethanol free. Plus i filled up with 93 that has Ethanol and my mileage is down. 91 without Ethanol i notice i get about 3mpg better.

Still jealous man. I will own one of these some day. Maybe after winter and once I figure out how broke I will be after I close on my house.

Yes hopefully by spring time. I can't stand driving at night without tint. Question now is go all legal or slightly illegal. I want darker than 70% on the front windows.
