July 30, 200717 yr comment_216998 The new 2007 Jeep wrangler that we just got which BTW 20 minutes ago I messed up the front bumper on has a 3.8 liter engine. I didn't know that I thought it was a 3.0 and I was told it is a new design they are using. The vehicle is still underpowered and drives like a car now. Anyway I thought all newer more modern engines of that size calls for 91 and above octane.

It is usually those small liter motor that push big numbers or even large liter motors that push even bigger numbers. Like a 2L motor usually is around 150hp these days average, but if you see one pushing like 200hp n/a, then you know that it needs some high grade fuel. Closer it gets to 100hp per liter whether forced induced or n/a, you know that it needs a higher octane.Who the hell told you that it is a new design? That is bs. Maybe the car, but the motor has been around for ever.I wish that they would get another AMC motor in there. Tons of torque way down low which imo, is what these kind of vehicles need. Diesels would be idel. :devious: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/25038-fuel-regular-or-extra/?&page=2#findComment-217045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
