We have only 93/95/97 octane in the philippines and when you gauge it its like its more water or dirty gas here so 95 octane ia not that 95 maybe its 91 in US you know philippines have sometimes undergo they tell people its more octane to gain more profit

Tuner is still coming next week. Tried 93 octane car wont run properly since this jeep is from jeep philippines maybe it was tuned for philippine fuel? What you think? After change oil showed me improvement went to 11.5mpg from 10mpg with stock 32. Now problem maybe im not having a 4.10s here maybe the dealer cheap it out to save some cost here.

But now im having a injector cleaner maybe after thia tank full will improve my mpg?

I have 3.21 gearing with 33x12.5x15 tires. Your gearing is not your problem. I don't think 4.10s would get you that much better mileage, if any, with your tire size. Your jeep just sounds like it was not maintained by the previous owner.

I guess yes that is correct he bought this on 2009 and last month when i bought it has 24.000 km reading and abs light on. After 2 days driving it just turned off. As he got like 13 cars in his garage i think was the jeep is not been used for a long
Time............
So now my last option is to wait for my flashpaq to come
Also k&n drop in
A throttle body spacer
Lets hope everything will be according to plan
But i changed oil today using 10w40 since im from hot weather?
But manual says i need 5w30 oil? US specs right? Or i need to drain again tom and changed to 5w30?
Spark plugs will take 10days to arrive from ebay :(

I think you will be fine with the 10w40 in your climate. Some are using that weight to reduce oil consumption on older engines. You are not on warranty anyway. I wouldn't think that a guy that hacks his cat convertors apart would be worried about oil weight! Good luck!

You will like the flashpaq. Better throttle response. If you are running an automatic it will make a bigger difference.

I have not been to the Phillipines in many years but I seem to recall traffic was often more stop than go in the city. I do not know your scenerio but if you are doing a lot of sitting and stop/go in traffic then 10 MPG is quite possible in a Wrangler. Not moving = 0 MPG.

Plus I remember lots of mountains in parts of your beautiful country.

If it seems to run okay, there may not be anything wrong with the vehicle.
