Jeep Wrangler: FUEL REQUIREMENTS — GASOLINE ENGINE / 2.0L Engine and 3.6L Engine
2.0L Engine
This engine is designed to meet
all emission requirements, and provide satisfactory fuel economy and
performance, when using high-quality
unleaded “regular” gasoline having an octane
rating of 87, as specified by the (R+M)/
2 method. The use of 91 or higher octane
“premium” gasoline will allow these engines to
operate to optimal performance. This increase
in performance is most noticeable in hot
weather or other heavier load conditions, such
as while towing.
