Does the 1984 Ford Ranger Pickup Cab Chassis 2WD need premium gas?
Every trim takes regular — no premium needed.
| Trim (engine / transmission) | Fuel | MPG | Fuel/yr |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.3L 4-cyl, 4-spd manual, 2WD | REGULAR | 17 | $3,650 |
| 2.3L 4-cyl, 4-spd manual, 2WD | REGULAR | 17 | $3,650 |
| 2.8L 6-cyl, 4-spd manual, 2WD | REGULAR | 14 | $4,450 |
The EPA records the fuel each version was tested on. Whether premium is strictly required or just recommended is an owner's-manual detail the EPA dataset doesn't include — so we don't guess it.
