I've heard that when towing, use super-unleaded gas.
Better gas mileage and engine will run cooler. That's the theory anyway. Plan on moving my daughter to Mississippi next w/e, pulling a 5x8 enclosed u-haul trailer with a 2004 Expedition (5.4L, 2WD). Does using super-unleaded make any difference? I know it will cost more but will it be better/worse for the engine and MPG? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Re: Which grade of gas to use when towing
Well, started out with a tank full of regular. Drove about 330 miles. Filled up with premium and drove another 300 miles. Didn't see any appreciable difference in MPG.
