The SAE standard that Ford is using rates HP using 93 octane gas. Having recently crossed the US from Niagara to Phoenix to Vancouver in a Porsche that really does like 93, I found it not readily available in large parts of the US. Some states not at all and its not available where I live unless I get on a ferry and go to Vancouver. How do they get away with advertising HP when its likely that most of the vehicles they sell can never achieve their claims? I call that a scam, false and misleading etc. Fraud.
91 is available everywhere, that should be the standard.
i went on the SAE site but the document/standard cost 85.00 so unless someone has one kicking around, the new standard shall remain unknown.
Having said all that, gas is now 1.54/litre here so this pos is only going to get a diet of 87 as the cost of 94 (Chevron only, in Canada) will be about 2.00/litre. That's outrageous in US gallons. Not happening. So my car is down to, what, 350 hp? That's a WAG.
Another brick in the wall.
