What type of fuel does the Wrangler require?

[HarmonyLee]

Wrangler requires the use of 95-octane gasoline. Different grades of gasoline have varying octane ratings, with higher-grade gasoline having higher octane values. Gasoline with higher octane ratings also offers better stability. Many turbocharged engines require a minimum of 95-octane gasoline to prevent engine knocking. Here is a detailed explanation of engine knocking: Knocking is an abnormal combustion phenomenon in the engine that affects power output. It occurs during the compression stroke. During the compression stroke, both the intake and exhaust valves close, and the piston moves upward to compress the air-fuel mixture. As the mixture is compressed, its temperature and pressure rise. If the gasoline's stability is poor, the air-fuel mixture may ignite prematurely. Premature combustion forces the piston downward while it is still moving upward, negatively impacting engine performance. Severe knocking can even lead to connecting rod deformation or piston damage.
