there is a gas station just north of me about 10 min that sells midgrade 89 octane with out any ethanol in it

Is it worth the extra money and drive for it?

I know on newer cars it doesnt matter, but on a 99 jeep cherokee it might

If anybody out there has run non ethanol gas and noticed any improvements or change, good or bad please let me know

I would like to try it and see if it helps.

I dont drive alot, so the extra money for it is not a issue

but if its money wasted, then i will go to mobil down the street

Please comment only if you tried it...Not really looking for opinions if you havent run it in your jeep..that dont help me at all

 

My stock 99 jumped from 320-330 miles a tank to 340-350 non ethanol. The difference in cost from ethanol to non ethanol was not worth it for the couple of tanks I ran.
That being said, ethanol is still garbage.

I might try it again with my new exhaust setup and see what I get.

 

ethanol attracts water. its also hard on factory rubber lines and seals that arent designed for it. i put in a full tank of shell v-power (no ethanol) every two months or so, but i dont notice a difference. i just do it for a little peace of mind i guess.

 

shell v power 93 octane is not ethanol free here..which sucks

 

get more mpg with eth free gas...i know it costs more but from what i have figured i got more mpg and still payed about the same when you do the math....

 

my jeep sits alot ( i carpool to work)

im worried about water while it sits most of the week

i guess i would have to see how much the cost difference is between the two and compare

 

It doesn't make enough of a difference in my XJ to be worth the extra cost for non ethanol gas. Makes a big difference in how my motorcycle runs though, it doesn't like ethanol, or low grade gas at all.

 

Ethanol burns faster=less mpg

 

i'm gonna guess you run e85 in your turbo srt8?....

 

I have been thinking about swapping over, just havent dont it yet....lol

 

cool man. any youtube vids?

 

Heres one when it was getting tuned after the build. If you google or search on youtube for... mondo's turbo jeep... theres a few around. Heres a couple...

I was averaging 13.2 with ethanol gas, using nonethanol gas I average 14.8. There's only 5 cents a galon difference in the two here so it pays for me to use nonethanol fuel.

 

Wow it was like a 30 cent difference last time I filled up with non ethanol.

 

my idle drops erratically with ethanol. stupid winter gas is terrible. in the summer when I can get E0 it runs smoother and I get 2-3mpg better
