Does anyone know what octane of gas I should put into my new 2016 Ford Fusion Hybrid? In the past I have always put 89 into my cars (Honda and Mazda). Not sure if that was ever required but just something I did. Wanted to get feedback from everyone here on what their suggestions might be? Thanks Steve

Let me apologize in advance if I seem a bit dull, but I'm not exactly a gearhead. Anyway, I always ran 87 octane, as was recommended, in my 2006 Fusion SE. When I bought my 2012 Sport earlier this year I assumed that I should continue to use 87 since the dealer never stated otherwise and I couldn't find any recommendation in the manual. Last fill-up I decided to use 89, and I feel that the engine runs smother and is more responsive, though it very well might be all in my head. So my question is what is the recommended gasoline grade for a stock sport? Is there any advantage or disadvantage to running 89 octane?

Hey Y'all, Taking delivery of a 2012 Fusion Sport this weekend. Spec's are as follows: V-6 24 Valve Duratec Engine Front Wheel Drive. Are there any guidelines for breaking-in a new Vehicle. That is, for instance, should I not drive the car over 60 mph for say the first 500 MIles? If not, are the engines pre-broken in? Recommended Gasoline Octane Level? Dealer says 87 is fine. I'm wondering. Oil Changes. The first, at what point? 1500 miles, 2000 etc I suppose the engine has the greatest amount of friction in it when it's brand new. Recommended Oils? Anybody using a synthetic like Mobile 1? Thanks
