Is 87 fuel is good for a 2015 Ford Mustang?
#1
Alright, Mustang enthusiasts, let’s dive into the fuel debate specifically for the 2015 Mustang. My local gas station only offers 87 octane, and I’ve been wondering if it’s really okay to use that in my 2015 Mustang. I know the owner’s manual might have its recommendations, but I’m curious about real-world experiences.

Will using 87 octane have a noticeable impact on the performance of a 2015 Mustang, or am I just overthinking it? Does anyone here regularly run their 2015 Mustang on 87 octane? If so, have you noticed any differences in acceleration, fuel efficiency, or engine health over time? I’ve heard some say that it’s perfectly fine, while others insist that anything less than premium could lead to knocking or long-term damage.

I’m also curious about any potential issues that could arise from sticking with the lower octane fuel over the long haul. Is there a noticeable drop in power, or does the car’s computer adjust to compensate without any major drawbacks? And for those who’ve experimented with different octane levels in a 2015 Mustang, did you notice any significant changes when you switched from 87 to a higher octane?
