I just like the appearance of the interior with an all black interior. And on top of that, I work on cars and I know from experience that regardless of how careful I am to be sure to wear a hat on the way home if I’ve been working under a greasy oily car, I’ll eventually forget once and have a nasty spot to look at and remind me how much I hate light colored headliners.why? aesthetics? or some other reson?
I went with the Limited w/302A over the Platinum for one reason, the Limited’s ebony interior carried the color up into the pillar trim and headliner and that was more important than the massage seats and all the other little aesthetically pleasing differences. I loved the massage seats in my previous vehicles and that is the one thing I wish it had that it doesn’t but I’d still buy the Limited again without reservation.
it is definitely not the octane that makes the 25hp difference. it is absolutely the tune on the engine. which in turn will dictate what octane you run.
I like the Ceramic on the Platinum. One thing that isn’t offered on the Limited is the Ceramic, they only have Stone. I’m wondering which looks and feels nicer? Probably Ceramic, but let’s see what ou guys choose
If I understand it correctly, (I can't remember where I read it) the engine output ratings for all 3 versions (XLT/LTD, Plat, & Navi) require the use of 93 octane gas. They're designed to run on 89, but you won't achieve the rated power output.The manual states 87 Octane for the Platinum. I have no issues on 87. I do avoid cheap gas and always pump Top Tier gas which makes a big difference to engine efficiency and life in the long run. Costco is the best Top Tier gas as it is cheaper than the big names and I get a 4% rebate using my Costco card too.
Correct. The manual states that the engine is designed to run on 87 but you need 91 to get maximum performance especially during hot weather and under load:If I understand it correctly, (I can't remember where I read it) the engine output ratings for all 3 versions (XLT/LTD, Plat, & Navi) require the use of 93 octane gas.

Just like the fine print in the owners manual for my old X308 XJ V8 4.0. And as opposed to the owners manual for my old Jeep XJ 4.0 I6 which specifically stated the engine was designed to run on the cheap stuff and using the more expensive gas would simply waste your money.
