I had wondered the same thing. Owner's manual says to use 87 octane for normal use, although it recommends a higher octane when a heavier load is placed on the engine, such as towing. Drove mine 550 miles the first couple of days after purchasing and used 87 octane. Seemed to run fine and still managed a respectable 28 mpg.
Regular or premium fuel 2.0 L ?
in 2.0L EcoBoost
