88.12 Octane?
So I don't normally see the utility in driving around looking to save $.02 on gas, but yesterday I decided to drive a little out of my way to check out the Mavrick gas station. If you aren't familiar with them they are the ones with a Jeep on the side of their tanker trucks.
So after getting my rewards card (long story there too) I start filling up. After about 10 gallons I realized I'm dumping 87 octane into my jeep.
So I stop and wonder how long it will take to run 10 gallons out when I get the brilliant idea to fill up with 90 instead. So I put in 10.49 gallons of 87 and another 6.29 of 90. By my math that means I put in 16.78 gallons of 88.12 Ocatane.
The above is rather meaningless as I've ran 87 before without issue. However, I did learn two things:
1) the Mavrick gas station was pretty nice....as far as gas stations go anyway. Go check one out. :thumb:
2) I'm pretty sure my gas tank doesn't hold anywhere near 22 gallons!
:cheesy:

Even 1/16th or more below empty I've never put more than 18 gallons in. Eddie and I were both doing some downhill coasting for miles on JKX one day and put in 17 gallons. I know my skids are bent up but not 5 gallons. Need to run it dry to check.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the Jeep is tuned for and Jeep recommends running 89. I just do what I'm told.

When the light comes on it means that you have 5 gallons left.

I passed one of their ultra clean tanker trucks just before EVOlander, RubiCat, and EVOJEEP hit the trail on Sunday.....I took that as a sign it was going to be a good day in the dirt and rocks. It's cool to see that jeep on the side of their tankers coming off the rocks like its jumping off the truck. :rock:
My jeep believes its a high performance machine, I give it a treat and run premium
I only run 87 as well...

I just downloaded the Owner's manual from Jeep. 87 octaine is what is required. :doh:
I didn't even know you could buy 87 octane in the area. The shitty thing is now I have to drive out of my way to get it.
Edit: But admittedly I do not pay that much attention when getting gas. I usually just grab the red handle at Chevron.

I say let him try.....I want to see if he can fit that much nozzle girth in to his jeeps orifice.
Authors note; first time in forum history the words "nozzle, girth, and orifice" have been used in one sentence.
