Well i ran a 88 Ford 460 for 287000 miles about half of that was pullen my 28 foot goose neck haulen tractors and equipment and it ran the 93 octain in her and even with a load of tractors on sometime there was two to four tractors on a load depending on size and it would do around 8-10 MPG and just running the the truck by it's self BTW it was a F 350 4X4 dually on a run to one of the sales it would do a shade over 14 . Three years ago we bought a 03 Dodge Durango with the 360 in it and the first tank of gas that went into it was the 93 and it did over 18 going out to the Talers gathering at Slo's when we took it in for service i was talken to the service manager and he came unglued onme for running the 93 so we dropped back to the 87 and OH wait guess what it went down to 14-15 MPG why???? because 87 burns fast and hot 93 burns cooler and longer . That is why we run the 93 octain in the tractors as they run cooler less chance of melting a piston and less fuel used and besides that is what a 6 Cylinder gasser I H is suppose to run bare minium .
