Mine runs good in both the 87 octane and 91 performance setting. I honestly can't tell much of a difference between the 91 and 93 setting however. You can definitely tell a power increase in higher RPM between the 87 and 91, but in normal driving you can't tell much of a difference other than that it just runs a little better and feels smoother. However, 87 still feels a lot better than stock.

I moved recently and here at higher elevation, I can't tell as much of a difference between the 87 and 91 settings so I'm going back to the 87 tune to save a little money.

I haven't experienced any problems with anything.

Running mine on 91 setting...Big increase in higher rpm and much stiffer
shifting...Absolutely love it...As for gas mileage i don't care...I have a
gas allowance from work ($200.00 per month) so i drive it like i want...But i'm
averaging 450 to 475n a tank of gas...Would recommend SUPERCHIPS to
anyone...

$200 a month!! For GAS! In your Jeep!

And I though that I had a good job, and I work with beautiful young girls all day selling drugs and making good money at it.

Those of you running 93 octane and loving it, are you actually using 93 octane gas as well?

Yes, 93 octane gas.

Now my experience with the "original" 91 octane tune was that it ran great on 89-93 octane. The 93 tune, at least the older one, was very picky about gas. The latest 93 tune is way smoother, runs cleaner and stumble free down low, but I haven't tried it with any lower grades of gas.

I never tried the newer 93 tune.

The highest grade you can get here is 91 tune, but back in Atlanta I ran 93 octane gas most of the time.

In Arizona the highest octane level is 91, I run my superchips at the 93 octane tune and usually put in some lucas octane booster along with my premium fuel. (91)
