Thread hijacks happen all the time.

Well, this time I am 1000% in support of the hijack haha

Does anyone else think the fuel tank is too small?

I may have heard that- will have to use the search function and see if it has been mentioned somewhere on the forum

Anyone else feel like the premium gas makes their fog lights so heavy that they rattle the hood?

Not personally, but if it did the additional lightness in my wallet could compensate to keep weight constant.

My rattling fog lights increased my fuel economy by 0.7% and I regained 10 gallons of tank capacity by turning off the cool box.

Do 40” tires rub if installed on the OEM 20” wheels?

Not if you get extremely digressive coilovers and carry two spare CV axles. I hear that anything above 39.9" is hard to fit in the stock spare location though.

That’s a good idea. While I’m back there, I will remove the battery to kill the stop start feature. That should also give me some room to double my tank size.

IMO there are only three reasons to USE premium fuel- because Mother T (thanks @GR8Santini) said so, range, or high end performance. And a RotopaX or 2 will fix range anxiety far more cheaply than a new tank. Take your pick of reasons BUT you can get more miles per dollar on lower grades and I defy anybody to show HARD data that disagrees.

Why not right? OP started this 3,127th iteration of the premium fuel conversation 8 days ago, commented back to the first person who responded, and then ghosted the forum. The way I see it, now that this thread has inundated the search returns and diluted actually good info, this thread is all your's buddy.

Decided to unlock the center differential and moved on

I dunno! I know my wife is one of Lauren’s 15 or so thousand subscribers via my youtube account… which has become our youtube account. She used to pop up on my feed all the time (why I recognized her), but it’s been a hot minute there too.

For what it’s worth…..
My LC seems to prefer Top Tier Sunoco 94 octane. Runs very smooth and I’m getting about 23 to 24MPH.
