What grade of fuel do you use?
Hey all. Question for you. What grade of fuel do you run in your rig? And do you get decent mileage?
I use regular, and the mileage is weak. I get 13.5 lt/ 100 km for city driving.
Just wondering if mid grade or premeum would make a difference.
Thanks in advance.
Oh ya, 4400 km on the jeep so far, not quite broken in yet.
Driving a 2010 mountain edition w/ rbi tires and shocks, that probably adds to the craptastic mileage.

I use regular (87 octane), my jeep has 19,000 miles, bone stock with the tiny 225 tires and I'm 90% city driving. Getting 15.6 mpg avg (hand calculated). The more I use the freeway the more it goes up. Auto, 3.73 gears.
can't wait to get larger tires and see this number plummet

"regular" 87 octane in every vehicle I've ever owned (with the exception of a 1.8T VW Jetta (was a real Lemon)).
I've run 89 before to get the advantage of the injector cleaner but didn't see any improvement in economy.
The octane rating should only affect your economy if you are getting poor ignition due to low or too high octane.
Oh - and it's a Jeep. I get GREAT gas mileage, for a Jeep (2011, Auto 3.73 gears, with the 31" stock Duelers that came on the Sahara). I've been getting between 13.9 and 15 around town in the cold weather, and as much as 19.2 with all highway driving. I expect an improvement as the miles rack up and the weather warms in the spring but not much. I always hand calculate my mileage and fill to a full tank every time. The trip computer tends to be optimistic most of the time.

cheapest gas I can find goes into my JK. Usually Thornton or BP is the cheapest where I"m at. I don't believe in the gas hype. I once had a 93' Pontiac Grand Am that had 287,000 miles on her (bought her with 6 miles) and never put anything but the cheapest gas I could find in her. Engine, trans, fuel injectors, fuel pump etc were all original. Only did normal maintenance.
