Towing. And the fact it's the most readily available gas around here with out ethanol. I hate that stuff.... Don't have a tune yet, but it's on the "to do" list.
I drove mine to work, filled it with 91 octane gas, got a donut and it all cost me $145!!!!
One expensive donut!
I know the feeling, my 2011 F150 had the 6.2L and a 36 gallon tank, needed a co-signer to fill it up, I only ran Premium (93 Octane down here) in it. I learned not to get below 1/2 tank if possible, just didn't hurt as bad!
Dave- thanks for the info. What kind of mileage do you see unloaded and towing with the ethanol free?
Well, I don't keep track of that stuff anymore. Best I've ever seen was 14. Worst is 6. But the 6 is pulling a ~11,000 lb camper and a ~3,500 lb atv trailer at 70 MPH.
Heaven help me don't get me started on that crap. I hate that ethanol is forced on us...more friggen big G at work.

I've noticed a lot more stations around the house that are carrying "ethanol free" gas, used to be it was the local store owners only, now the majors are following suit! The only thing is, with the exception of a few, most have 87 octane only ethanol free gas.
Decladded the beast today, not bad took a while - the 3M eraser wheel is a lifesaver! Ripped off the stock running boards then installed a S&B intake as well since my stock intake showed 75% restriction with the 38R and tuner. One crappy spot of rust found on the fender... something else to do on a nice day now.
Don't mind the stock crap wheels, my 20x12 hostages are off till I get the rear sorted out. (traction bars and add a leafs)
