i use 93 octane in Black Betty,
So the fuel costs more, but you should go farther per gallon with the SuperCharger
Fuel cost is offset by better fuel economy. I get 3 MPG better with the S/C.
Maybe someone will figure out down to the penny what the total cost difference is. Betty on regular got 13 MPG before the supercharger, and 16 after (premium). So the price difference is more than just the difference between regular and premium
Keep in mind, you will drive a supercharged jeep more aggressively than a stock unit, so you probably wont see a great MPG gain. Its hard to stay off the gas.
If the pentastars head issues had you concerned with the extra power-
Dont be. My JK was delivered Jan 13 of 12. Meaning it was built in december of 11 when all those guys at chrysler were busted for drinking on the job.
Also, When I installed it, we BEAT THE HELL out of it by racing across the country after, I dont know how many, dyno runs.
No on on earth would beat their truck the way we did and the S/C held up fine. And my head is fine. Believe me I was concerned too. I didnt want to sleep while we were driving to moab because the other guys were driving like the truck was stolen.
Here's the 0-60 clip!
Low End Roots, vs. High End with Centrifugal
Here's my opinion, high end......in lower gear. Sounds crazy, I know, your brain thinks you want low end because its a jeep, but I was climbing nearly straight up in Moab, in first, 4lo, and where others goosed the throttle, I'd ease the rpm up and she would slowly crawl. Made it look easy.
Spots offroad where you think you need momentum, with the sc you don't. It continues to build power, just steadily climbing.
Goosing the throttle is all of our enemy. It's how thing break.
