Premium fuel is recommended for the EcoBoost engines. Using regular fuel will slightly reduce power to compensate for the lower-octane mix. The 2014 Ford Escape is offered in three trims — S, SE and Titanium.
What happens if I put premium gas in my Ford Escape?
The increase in compression creates more heat during the compression stroke which can pre-ignite the fuel/air mixture and result in detonation, which can do serious damage to the engine.
Will using premium gas hurt my engine?
The higher octane gives premium gas greater resistance to early fuel ignition, which can result in potential damage, sometimes accompanied by audible engine knocking or pinging. If you use premium fuel because your engine knocks on regular, you are treating the symptom, not the cause.
