What Kind Of Gas

This maybe a stupid question, but does it really matter if you use premium or regular in the new 4.0L v6 engine?

If you use real cheap gas though I would reccomend a little bit of injector cleaner/gas treatment every once in a while - I do that on my truck (I use prestone octane booster/cleaner) and it actually made somewhat of a difference it seems.

the 4.0 only requires regular so don't worry about any of that $$ stuff.
