    Yea, I believe you, I could tell the difference when I filled up on super once, engine ran smoother in general

    Now how much do they actually gain hp wise running 91 over 87. I cant see it being any noticeable amount.

    People say they use either 91 or 93. It really won't hurt anything. From what I see the cost per mile is the same on 87 and 91 cause they get a little better mpg. I want to run ethanol free that we have here a few times and see what happens. If you switch between fuels you have to run a few tanks to see improvements. Takes the ECU time to learn. I probably wouldn't tow with 87 octane if I had a 4.0

    My uncles car required 91 every 3rd tank to run smooth. I wonder if the 4.0 Could run better if you filled it like that?

    hmmm I wonder what the torque change would be. I feel torque is what you notice in day to day driving

    I tried 89 once, and got bad mpg. Then learned you have to give the ECU time to relearn the parameters. 89 can sometimes help and engine with high mileage. I'm gonna try to run ethanol free 90 octane next tank. It's like 4.50 a gallon haha :eek:
