Yeah, don't ya just love threads where someone makes unfounded assertions with zero data/info to back them up? And then defend them over multiple thread pages? And the little data they do provide is from almost a decade ago? Or they post YT video links that are clearly clickbait?
Besides no data/info, I would also guess most if not all of them have zero background in automotive engine design/engineering or petroleum engineering, heck even a science background. But hey, I'm sure they've slept in a Holiday Inn:).

Really smooshed the hell outta that car! Stupid lady!
I hope she's okay but yeah, paying attention saves lives.

Also surprised at the apparent lack of damage on the Jeep's body. The frame might be jacked though.

To be fair I experimented with all levels here at altitude.

The Jeep runs just fine on 87 but not as well on 85. No real advantage to 91 that I found after a few tanks. Some little mileage gain that can also be attributed to a bit more time on the highway.

So I buy 87 octane.
Technically I could run V on 87 and not cause any damage. It just says that performance may suffer. Gee, I might only get 450 outta her instead of 460. lol

I still use the good stuff. She had to take a 2 octane hit moving out here tho. oh well

I run 87 on the Jeep. Haven't had any issues with it. With the Ram I had to use 89. Even though it would take 87, it would de-tune the engine and it would make a noticeable difference in power and mileage. Still wasn't a slouch but I liked the 390 Hp. :devil:

Shipped due to the title, had to read it after all the comments (couldn't make it past the first page). Wasn't a thread just posted with the same stupid stuff about two months ago?
Every few weeks something like that gets posted. :headbang:
