They use a ton of ethanol in their gas. I'll burn through 20 bucks worth of wawa gas like it's nothing. The jeep just tends to run like crap on wawa gas. Maybe it's in my head I dunno. But the sunoco down the street from my job is always the same price as wawa do I'd rather go there.
I have to agree the other day I was only getting about 13-14 in my wifes truck and I plugged in my Tuner and was getting a reading of just above 65% ethanol. I had to ask my wife if she filled up with e85 anywhere but we have no e85 stations around.

That E85 will eat your fuel system over time, unless its desighned to run on it. and our trucks aren't.

Yeah the other day I got a warning for the same thing. The cops here are great aren't they! Did you have a red ranger with a matching cap?

I like the look of your jeep alot. That was the first time I saw it the other day

I've almost always used wawa. It's more out of convenience because I live a few blocks from one, but I've never had a problem. I eat through gas regardless of what kind lol

So yesterday my belt started squeaking really bad. When I say bad, I mean like cover-your-ears bad. The weird thing is that after driving like 5 miles, it seems to stop squeaking. If I stop at a light or stop sign and then accelerate, it starts up again for like half a mile. Maybe it's the tensioner or has something to do with the cold? Any suggestions? Thanks

Bad or loose belt also could be a bad bearing in one of the bearings
