89 Octane is the recommended fuel for the 3.7L in the KJ. Read your owner's manual, lol. It states that the Plus grade can be used for towing, I believe.



89 is middle of the road
87 is low grade and 92 is high
I have been running 87 in my TJ and KJ from day one and all is well


Depends where you live...definitely not the case here.

I run 87 octane but here in Colorado that's mid-grade. Regular gas here is 85 octane and Premium is 92. I average about 17mpg city and 19mpg highway. When I use 85, I tend to get a slight engine knock so that's why I've stuck to 87. My vote therefore is for 87 but not sure if that would be accurate.

85 Octane

It is regular for the Rockies due to altitude.
