What Brand of Gas Do You Use?

Rick2007Tacoma · 04-06-2007, 02:29 PM

I have tracked my gas mileage since I purchased the truck and the mpg started at 17.27 and after 6 tanks the average mpg is 18.75. I called the dealership and since I have not gone more than 5000 miles, they feel it’s not broken in yet. This may be true. Plus, they mentioned that the DFW area has had bad gas and all stations use Ethanol. Well, at 5000 miles I better be getting between 23 – 28 mpg or I’ll be making quite a few phone calls.

I'm guessing you have a I4, because thats what my V6 is getting and I am very happy with those results.

Yea I think TRD-Elkaholic hit it on the nose with his answer, I've been using Amoco/BP. I have heard that Hess is good but none in my area.

81.9 cents a liter for 91 octane?? In Lethbridge, I call BS!! That would mean that 87 is running at about 71 cents a liter, it hasn't been that cheap since 1996. It is currently 1.09 cents a liter for 91 octane. (4.13/gal US liquid).

What, you guys don't have Quick Trips?

I will drive past a Phillips or BP on fumes to get to a QT!
