    Just keep it on the top 3/4 of the tank, fuel pumps on the bottom so it'll use up the 87 first! After about 100 miles when you get to the race fuel you will notice a 3-138hp boost so be careful if at highway speeds.

    Its just more expensive gas, although MPG should rise, not enough to payback the cost delta.

    Taking the time to ask a forum of people about if it's okay to mix grades of fuel. This is the most basic of vehicle knowledge.

    This is equivalent to me starting a thread to ask if it is normal for the door to open when you pull on the door handle.

    Also a simple google search yields hundreds of thousands of results (edit: 2.1 MILLION). This is not a topic specific to a 3rd gen Tacoma.

    Also, fun fact. "Mid grade" (such as 89 octane) is actually blended at the pump. Now you know.

    You know, I said that to myself the other day! At first, I didn't see why people complained about TW. Now, I see it! :rofl:

    Still love posting and reading here though, for that occasional useful post.

    Yeah, its like 70% of the content is CARS101, 20% TRUCKS101 and 10% actual useful information. Gotta wade through the BS to find good stuff.

    And that 20% is broken down into 19.9% "how do I lift? I have a $250 budget" :rofl:

    HAHAHA. This is the first forum auto related that I have been on in 20 years that its okay to ask questions like this.

    I mean its easier to google search than post this thread.

    "This is equivalent to me starting a thread to ask if it is normal for the door to open when you pull on the door handle."


    Actually this door question is quite relevant....
    1...if you have push start, the door should OPEN when you try it....
    2...if you do NOT have push start and pull on the handle, it will NOT open the door.
    3...What if I pull on another door, other than the driver's..??
    4...Keyless entry brings a whole nother realm into the discussion... What is "keyless" entry.? Is it "NO key"/"push the FOB"/Or what.??

    I think there lots of potential scenarios that we can discuss here.....
    I know my rear doors are "Keyless entry" as there is no place to stick the key... Is this truly "keyless"..?

    Weird OR what..? :thumbsup::canada:

    I'm shocked "any oil works well, as long as you replace it every 3,000 miles. Those 10k intervals => you replace your engine more often => higher toyota profits => Obama's HAARP program gets kickbacks!!!" guy hasn't made a showing... ;)
