We used to use unleaded, but as recommended by a mechanic now use premium.

Also seems to have stopped the problem with our oxygen sensor breaking

Only just switched over to premium (2007 etec)...have been told that among other benefits, you get better fuel economy, enough to outweigh the extra cost of the fuel. Haven't refilled yet to see if the numbers ARE better.

Auslobster it works out about $20 more for an adverage trip for us, and the economy isn't effected that we can see.

auslobster, you wont probably see any benifits cos the motors are tuned to run on regular unleaded. asked the same question when l got mine.you can get them tuned to run on premuim though.
