Default What type of gas to use for the 2010 GTs

I made a similiar topic like this on another thread without mentioning that I have a 2010 mustang.

I read in some reviews that the torque goes up if you use premium.

In the manual it says 91 octane is for the best results. Where I live it skips from 87, 89, to 93. Will anything go wrong from jumping to 93?

What kind of better performance besides torque will I get from premium gas? Will I be able to go any faster when I push down on the gas from a stopping position or on the high way? I have an automatic by the way.

Go 93...manual is saying 91 as some areas this is the premiumest you can get (I loved typing that word).
I believe the official word from Ford is that this will get you another 10 lb/ft of torque. So if you fill up with premium twice, you can get 20 lb/ft.

The engine can handle 87. So if you are short on a few bucks don't worry about putting 87 in. Otherwise go for 93.

93 should also give better mileage if it's anything like the older cars.
