- Why should I pay someone else to screw it up when I can screw it up myself for free?
I recently used 89 octane filling the Ranger from empty. I have to to say it made it run smoother, seems more responsive, and highway mileage has increased just a bit (1+mpg). I was pretty surprised actually. The Ranger always ran decent on 87 but mid grade felt like the Italian tuneup I used to do on my old Porsches if they had sat for awhile. This is on a vehicle with about 220K miles. I'm not sure if the difference in price justifies it but at $.10/gal more I might stick to it.
