93 Octane! I like it!

[ITSTHEWIFES]

Man, who knew gas could stir up all this controversy............I'm cracking up reading this thread.........still love the 93..........

Really, this has turned into comedy. I wish I could get 93 here in the western states. Both my cars require premium, so there may be a day when her jeep gets premium by accident.

A Jeep from the 60s painted with floral patterns. It runs on hemp and love.

Due to reading all these posts I just thought to myself that I need to be giving my car the best of the best....

That being said I gassed her up with the most expensive iced coffee I could find. My car only has 0 miles so it’s still a little early to tell but I’ve noticed it runs much smoother and with more pep due to the increased caffeine levels that I know my 3.6 most happily utilizes. I don’t need facts to tell you it runs better all I know is that I spent more to fill it so it MUST work better! DUH!

put what you want in it, seriously it is a $3 difference on fill ups if that., I love the way mine sounds feels with 93 in it.

I have always noticed a few more miles per tank when I use 93

87 is for your friggin lawnmower

My lawnmower explicitly calls for 93.

With a catch can and 93 octane you can gain 200 hps and increase gas mileage 10+ mpg.

I was gonna add a K&N filter but was worried about having 300+ hp over stock on axles. :O :P

Piss and vinegar is what I’m running right now. I can definitely see improvements in throttle response and miles per gallon. Would highly recommend; plus it’s super cheap!

A pound of sugar in the tank makes it run sweeeeeeeet!

I don’t know about all that mileage stuff. Guess I wasn’t thinking about it when I got this Jeep thingy. All I know for darn sure is that with 104+ Octane boost from the auto parts store, my Warn 10S 10,000lb winch can pull AND push the rope with 20,000lbs, the headlights are so bright my garage caught fire last night and my JLUR turned into chitty-chitty bang-bang and disappeared into the night sky. Filing insurance claims in the morning. Definitely recommend 87.

Here's a little more fuel for the fire.

Not fuel at all for a fire. Just shows fact over fiction.

If you think it helps....put in the expensive stuff.

I don't care what others feel is right or wrong, with results from 93 octane gas. I've had some in the tank, for about 1 1/2 week. The engine definitely idles smoother, and it is a little more responsive, when getting on the gas. I like it, but not worth the extra money, 24/7.

Mine actually idles better in the morning on a cold start with 93.

Even though it can be a waste of money at worst, any harm to the engine or performance if you fill the 3.6L with 89 or 91? I now have two Wranglers in the household - a 2.0L (which definitely gets 91) and a 3.6L for which I am thinking 89 (Silver/Mid grade) may be the best choice?
