    Why would you put 91 in it? Does it call for 91? Putting higher octane in than what is called for is actually bad for the engine.

    Actually bad for your engine? Lol on the cotrary it is bad for your engine to use lesser octane then required it is certainly not bad to use higher then required. And there are many people who have had better fuel mileage with 89 and up. You are 100 percent not corect.

    Do you know what Octane does?
    You are partially right though. I suppose it won't damage your engine. Just make it less efficient. Your engine was designed to run regular. You will not receive any gains from delaying the ignition point of your fuel. You will just spend more for gas. If you are experiencing detonation running regular, you have a problem and running 91 is only a bandaid.

    91 octane will get you 311 hp.

    I think the question is do u. Ive been in the automotive industry my whole life. Octane is the measurement of when fuel detinates at a particular compression. Thats wjy using a lower then aproved octane is dangerouse not using higher. The manufacturer gives you a minimum octane rating to use not a maximum. So toyota says do not use less then 87 octane.

    Very nice! What applicators and microfibers are you using? Looking for an alternative to my system

    O.K. automotive industry my whole life, what does the fuel do when you are running high octane in a lower compression engine?

    If you check your Toyota manual it says you can run 91 octane

    Again, By using higher octane fuel where lower is specified, you will create no problems with your engine. It does not add any power to your engine, but will not harm it at all. Worst case scenario is you’ve just wasted some money by buying the more expensive fuel. However If you put the lower octane fuel in an engine which specifies high octane fuel, will not cause you any major issues on an electronic fuel injected engine because it has a device known as a “knock sensor” which will pull timing.

    Again...
    By using higher octane fuel where lower is specified, you will create no problems with your engine. It does not (by popular belief) add any power to your engine, but will not harm it at all. Worst case scenario is you’ve just wasted some money by buying the more expensive fuel.

    If you put the lower octane fuel in an engine which specifies high octane fuel, will not cause you any major issues on an electronic fuel injected engine because it has a device known as a “knock sensor” which will pull timing wich will cause loss in power. In lre electronic controled engines you wpuld cause engine damage.
