Close but the opposite.
It has gone down a bit as my foot got a bit heavier as it broke in some. If you click on the footer it gives the history.

What is the recommended octane for the 6.2?

Regular. I tried a few tanks of premium gas but I can feel no difference except in my wallet.

The reason is it takes several tanks for the computer to adjust to the octane change, plus don't get the premium if it's not required, your just wasting your money.

I thought with the anti knock sensors it would be immediate, but nope. No difference in mileage either. I towed our 11.5K fifth wheel home yesterday. Got 7.5 the first leg and 8 the second. Combined weight was 19.5K. Headwinds all the way, obviously stronger on the first leg.

High of 23 C today and 28C tomorrow. that's 73 and 82F.
That's pretty warm for the start of summer. Weather Forecast: Calgary, Alberta - The Weather Network

It's been too wet to move drilling rigs in a lot of areas, but hopefully this heat dries things up and we can get our guys back to work. Myself, I just need it warm enough to golf . . .

Since Friday all it wants to do is rain here, not great motorcycle riding weather!

She pulls good, much better than expected to my surprise. I questioned Fords tow rating on this motor, but it can defiantly handle it.
