I’m forced to use 91 octane here in California. Oregon has 92 which is nice for when we visit there.

I use Amsoil products everywhere except the t-case and (locking) rear diff. LR seemS to have more particular requirements that Amsoil doesn’t have a product for in those two places. There, I use either genuine LR fluid or Rock Oil purchased from Atlantic British.
For fuel, I typically run 87. Every now and then, I’ll run premium if we’re headed into the woods or up higher elevation. One thing I do that probably makes the most difference is I only use Top Tier certified fuel. Look it up to see which stations around you carry it. It has more detergent added to keep your fuel system and combustion chamber cleaner. Every grade gets the same treatment. I’ve never noticed a difference in performance or economy b/t regular and premium.
I’m sure someone can tell me why that’s a bad idea though.
