regular unleaded 87 octane in our '21 yukon xl with a 5.3 and IMO anything else is just burning extra money on higher octane for no added benefit

The 6.2 says "Premium Only" and that's what I've been using. Granted, I only have 550 miles on mine so far, so its not even 2 full tanks worth yet.

My 5.3 likes select brands and when it gets those brands it runs just fine on 87 octane. Which brands you might ask: CountryMark, Exxon Mobil, BP, Marathon will do in a pinch. Nothing worse than buying some crap Kroger gas and hitting the steep grades while it pukes all over the highway.

I only put 87 in my 6.2 L Denali and the engine doesn't knock. Ever.

You have to be dumb to put premium gas in it. Prove it to me otherwise

I also have a 21 Yukon XL 5.3 and get along fine with the 87 octane, but in my Bronco sport I've tried all 3 grades and mid-grade gets the best MPG, better than 87 and no difference than using 91.
