These engines are not designed for higher octane fuels, running 93 does nothing.

By FULL tune up I mean down to using sensor safe cleaner and cleaning TB and associated sensors. Also sea foam into intake and fuel.

Someone should do a write up on that... I know it'll seam routine to lots of people, but there are also people who'd be confused by what many of us consider a simple easy task

Agree .... My feelin behind the high octain is that it's a cleaner fuel than low grade .... I treat my jeep weekly to a tank of high octain gas, only because they do super Mondays were premium is reg price ... Just like pump says .... Low , mid , premium .... Our motors don't care not high compression motors
