Nothing to apologise for ....
Petrol has become priced commodity ...
When its actually a fuel of various octanes which should be selected to suit a vehicles particular use.
Dodgy fuel supplies are probably a bigger issue than the octane ratings tho ... especially at this time of year.
Interesting that the JK info is almost word for word the same as a TJ manual I have.
Difference being ..... this is tucked away on the last page.
"when pulling a heavy load or driving a fully loaded vehicle when the humidity is low and the temperature is high, use a premium unleaded fuel to help prevent spark knock.
If spark knock persists, lighten the load, or engine piston damage may result."
Lighten the load probably means stop working the engine so hard ... rather than tossing out the kids school bags .....
