5.0sho

hey does any one know what kind of gas i should be using for my 5.0 ?

4.698GT

87 unless u got high compression, a super/turbo charger, or bumped timing.

I know I could get away with not doing it but i always put the highest grade in my 94. It runs alot better with the 92-93 octane, and I can afford it so why not?

I hope u mean what octane vs. what brand. Most of the people on the forum have modded or plan to mod their stangs and therefore are or should be using 93 or better due to the increased timing and/or compression. If your ride is completely stock including timing you can use 87 unless the mileage is high and there's carbon build up.

Everybody here knows that the higher the octane, the SLOWER the gas burns, right?

So if you think about it, one should get more power in a STOCK motor using 87 octane over 93. Doubt you'll feel the difference driving around town though.
So with that in mind, why would anyone want to pay more for gas (super) and get less power.
