Most gasoline-powered Ford Mustangs are designed to run on unleaded gasoline, but the recommended octane rating can vary by model year and engine. For the 2025 Ford Mustang lineup, Ford publishes performance specifications based on 93-octane fuel for the EcoBoost, GT and Dark Horse models.
What kind of gas does a Ford Mustang take?
The 2025 gasoline-powered Ford Mustang takes unleaded gasoline. Ford identifies 93-octane fuel in the published specifications for the following models:
- 2025 Mustang EcoBoost: 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
- 2025 Mustang GT: 5.0-liter Ti-VCT V8 engine.
- 2025 Mustang Dark Horse: modified 5.0-liter Gen-4 Coyote V8 engine.
For the exact vehicle, check the fuel-door label and owner’s manual because fuel recommendations may differ between model years, engines and markets.
Does a Mustang need premium gas?
For the 2025 Mustang EcoBoost, GT and Dark Horse, 93-octane gasoline is the fuel used for Ford’s published performance figures. Using the recommended octane helps the engine operate as specified. The correct requirement for an older Mustang should be confirmed in that car’s owner’s manual or on its fuel-door label.
Fuel requirements by 2025 Mustang model
2025 Ford Mustang EcoBoost
The EcoBoost uses a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine. Ford lists performance figures based on 93-octane fuel. The EcoBoost coupe is rated at up to 22 mpg city, 33 mpg highway and 26 mpg combined.
2025 Ford Mustang GT
The Mustang GT uses a 5.0-liter Ti-VCT V8 engine and is available as a fastback or convertible. Ford’s published specifications use 93-octane fuel for its performance figures.
2025 Ford Mustang Dark Horse
The Dark Horse uses a modified 5.0-liter Gen-4 Coyote V8. Ford lists its 500-horsepower specification based on 93-octane fuel, and the model is offered as a fastback coupe.
2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E
The Mustang Mach-E is a battery-electric SUV, not a gasoline-powered Mustang. It uses a battery and electric drivetrain, so it does not take gasoline or require an octane rating.
How many gallons does a Ford Mustang hold?
The exact fuel-tank capacity should be checked for the specific Mustang model year, body style and powertrain. A verified official tank-capacity figure was not available in the research for the 2025 lineup, so a single gallon figure should not be applied to every Mustang.
For a precise answer, use the vehicle’s owner’s manual, fuel-system specifications or the information for the exact vehicle identification number. The Mach-E has no gasoline tank because it stores energy in a battery.
