Your maverick will run fine on regular old 87 octane that has 10% ethanol in it. It will recommend higher octane if you are max towing due to the higher engine temperatures that may suffer knocking at full load. To answer your question, whichever is cheaper
Had that happen in a mustang before. It was due to the wire harness that went through the trunk had a cut wire. Since your trucks new I suspect that a connect is unplugged somewhere. I hope the wires aren't cut this early
It's your driving habits. I drive a small car that gets 26 city, 36 highway. If I'm strictly doing short "city" style trips I'll absolutely get mpg in the low 20s. So here's your larger and more inefficient maverick plus mods getting a few mpgs under it's specified city rate of 23 mpg...
I you're talking about some trips in the good old days you are probably correct. We only starting blending 10% ethanol into motor fuels in the last few decades
Have fun spending several thousand dollars more on fuel over the course of the vehicles life for no benefit what so ever. Premium fuel has no more energy per gallon than regular 87 octane. However, ethanol free fuel DOES contain more energy per gallon than regular (10% ethanol) fuel.
They sent me the sticker and their selling price for the xl AWD, it was marked up 5k. They may have been giving you MSRP on that in stock truck with the intent of you giving your order that's being built in a few weeks to them
I can't stand the markups. They destroy the purpose of the maverick. There is a reason the maverick starts at 20k, there was a lot of cost cutting and lower end materials used, missing features, etc.
But that's exactly what I'm looking for in a vehicle.
Dealers start adding these markups...
Well it sounds like you won't budge on your ways, so what help are you asking for then? Everyone here has given you ways to save money and first and foremost figure out why you aren't getting the full mileage reimbursement.
I didn't mean to go cheap on tires and buy some crap $50 Chinese...
I'll echo everyone else here saying you are not getting the correct mileage reimbursement. Should be following the standard IRS rate. Also, if you can learn to change the oil yourself, it takes about 15 minutes and costs about $30 for the oil and filter (atleast it does for my car, haven't...
Get used to it, ford has said last year they are transitioning to a build to order style of sales rather than packing dealer lots with 500 cars/trucks. Just because a dealer lot isn't as full as it was in 2019 doesn't mean sales aren't booming.

Hopefully ford CEO isn't all talk on cutting allocations to dealers selling above MSRP. I hope in my lifetime I see the end of dealerships and then have the ability to order direct from manufacturer
Are you living under a rock? Car sales are booming even with all the inventory constraints. I live in a medium sized town in the south and you can easily make 60 to 80k a year selling cars nowadays, especially at a Ford dealer with high f150 volumes
I'm no financial advisor, but if money was that tight perhaps paying 10k over sticker on a vehicle wasn't a good choice. I would shop that thing around to dealers or carvana/vroom. I've been hearing people getting some good offers there. Probably won't be 36K, but every month you wait to...
Compression in the 2.0 engine isn't high enough to warrant higher octane fuels than 87. Aside from towing a heavy load on a hot summer day uphill while blasting the air conditioning on high, I stick with 87 octane all day everyday.
Like a previous post mentioned, if you are looking for mpg...
