Yeah, the Mustang GT Convertable is a very sweet ride! Wish I had one. If I were you, I would run Prolong . I've been using it for the last 130,000 in my Explorer and for 200,000 in my 89 F250. Both run like a top.

Why does lower octane fuel require injector cleaning more than higher octane fuel? Technical reason please.

Unless the lower octane fuel is also lower quality in other respects?

I'm not sure I would trust that car to 87 octane gas.  Is it a GT? I'm assuming it is from your description.  If its the 6 cylinder, 87 octane is just fine.

I have a 95 GT (last year for the 5.0 liter engines) and even though the manual says it will run on 87 octane, it don't.

I usually end up running either 92 or 93 octane.  If not when it gets under heavy load, say... heavy acceleration on a "interstate onramp" and the RPM's get up to around 4,000 you will hear the valves start to rattle.  Very noticeable.

I would suggest at least the "mid grade" of gasoline if you have the 4.6 lt

I had a mustang convert 5.0 5 speed and it never leaked a drop... best convert top I ever seen.... glass back window.   I put 5,000 miles on it one vacation and it was trouble free... got 25 mpg on the highway and would smoke the tires in the first 2 gears.   Pleasant car but...

people wreck em.... they are short wheelbase and they have a high power to weight ratio with...... TORQUE  not big block torque but V8 torque nonetheless...  learn to recover the car when it is past sideways and you only have 2 lanes to recover in ... use cones in a parking lot.

My '90 5.0 5 speed ex highway patrol car I sold to a 26 year old... he totaled it in 2 weeks after I had driven it for 6 or 7 years.  slid it sideways into a pole.

no problems with the car at all.   2 drain plags are a squeak but they kinda shoehorned that 302 into that fox body.

 The Gas all comes from the SAME place, the difference in grades comes from the additives (hence the different octane levels). "Premium" has more than "Mid-Grade", ect. Just because you buy Chevron does not mean Chevron refined that gas. It DOES mean that it has Chevron Additives. Go to a Fuel Distribution Center and watch all the different brand names that go in and out. The stuff you buy off the shelf is more or less the same stuff they add at the Distribution Center. Over a period of time the lower octane will build up more carbon deposits.
 Now there are several schools of thought about this. If you are going to spend the whole time street racing, the car probably WOULD do better to buy Premium all the time. However, in normal everyday stop and go driving you will do just fine with "Regular" as long as you include some Additive to the gas on a regular basis (every month or two) to clean out those carbon deposits. Of course, if it's a problem of pings and clatter, you may be forced to use the higher grade gas to stop it. Do a Google Search on Gasoline Octane and you will be surprised.
