Fuel octane?

Mike is "5 star" a tune? I suppose it must be if you mention transmissions?
I've used water-methanol injection to cool cylinder heads and permit much higher manifold pressures and of course dragsters use an alcohol but I am going back to the drawing board (Wikipedia?) to do more research on alcohol.

Isn’t it nice Ford gives the options to run different fuel types and has the ability to retard the timing with knock sensors? It’s wild how responsive they are to tuning and octane, like all cars. My SHO is tuned for E40 and gets an average of 17.5 mpg. It also has a 93 tune that can run different fuel types and adjust the timing accordingly.
The easiest way to get around low octane with no access to E-85 would be methanol. Between E85 and Methanol everybody has a chance to increase the power of a stock eco boost engine easily.

You COMPLETELY ignored that 24 of them are 93, and 4 are 92. SO 28 of 43 that publish a State Standard are 92 or higher.
The AVERAGE makes complete and total sense. Man you are dense. Again, go put your stock ST on a Dyno, with 91(E10) in the tank, and do the average calculation on loss, and I would bet you are at 400HP at the crank.

I just finished burning off my first tank of whatever the dealer gave me on delivery. Our PetroCanada stations offer 94 octane with 10% ethanol IIRC so going to give that a go and see how the butt dyno responds.
Still considering a tune as well but just started a new lease so may want until warranty is up and if i have decided to buy out the lease.

Thats good price 93 here is over 4
We run 89 at minimum in the f150 eco boost , and now the st.
However..long drives in high summer heat
I will sneak in higher octane if possible
We don't race or drive like we stole them...
Much
I c a n say. 87 changes mpg in f150 pretty fast to loose 1 or 2
