I have a 2009 Libby that just turned 80,000 miles. I usually get 21 to 23 miles per gallon on the highway running about 73 miles per hour and i always run 89 octain gas. I just drove 2300 miles this past week and was getting barely 20 mpg. So i tried 92 octain which didn't chance anything with that tank full, I went back to 89 on the next tank full and i'm back to 23 mpg. I guess it just needed that extra octain to clean the injectors. |

That is great mileage!! I have a 2011 Renegade that I got in January. My mileage has been between 12-14mpg in suburban driving. I don't expect great mileage with a Jeep, but better than what I'm getting for sure. |

87 Octane burns Super 89 Octane burns Meduim fast 92 Octane burns Slow Normaly just the Octane should not fix that issue. But I think using a Fuel cleaner like Teckron 1 tank before you change your oil is a good idea 3 times a year. But use Double to recomoned amount.... 14 on non freeway roads is abount right. 23 is killer on the freeways. |

can't really call it this month since I've been towing at least once per tank. But for the winter time (and with Marlons advice) I'm getting about 17-18 MPG with mixed driving. I can't wait until the summer blend gas. 20-21 MPG is what I'm estimating. |
