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.

I bought a motorcycle for MPG. Between the lift, rack, skids and tires, I gave up on MPG's in my KK :5SHOTS:

is that good MPG attributed to the JET chip, muffler and CAI?
