It's pretty quick, but a tuner can increase HP by 62, and torque by 100 ft lbs. We've had a turbo vehicle before, and found ourselves always using 91 or better. My gut reaction to Turbos or high compression engines is to use premium, exclusively (yeah, the manufacturers say 87 for it, but I intend to keep this a long time and no knock versus a little that kills pistons and rings.) Also if I get a different tire/wheel combination I can go bigger. Not too anxious to do new tires or wheels, I think Ford dialed in a lot very well. Ironically it was bought for my wife, who has put a grand total of 5 miles behind the wheel, typically I'm driving, or drive it. We looked at Jeep, they're nice, but road manners Aren't quite as nice.</p></blockquote><p></p>
