we have 2.0 getting 25.6 mpg regular gas.....and 1500 miles...thus far
More specifically, what the vehicle is tuned for.From experience and fact i realized that putting in anything higher in octane than what your vehicle actually needs is just wasting your money.
On a '14 Escape 2.0 the horsepower is 240, but it drops to 231 when running 87 octane.In researching the MKC I have seen where the Horse Power and Torque ratings of both the 2.0 and 2.3 have foot notes indicating that those numbers are achieved using 93 octane fuel.
Does anyone have any feel for the effect of 87 octane on the HP/Torque and fuel mileage of these two engines?
