Switching from Oxygenated Premium to Non-Oxy.....

Howdy,

I had been using Oxygenated Premium in my 2019 Tacoma Sport. I only have 12k miles on the vehicle and recently filled up with Non-Oxy Premium. I noticed a positive difference in response and "smoothness". Does this make sense?

What about going back and forth between the two grades?????

Welcome to TW!

 

I thought all fuels, regardless of "grade", were oxygenated in the Tier 1 supply.

 

"Oxegenated fuels" are mostly ethanol blends...

Most every commercially available fuel is ethanol blends in most states.

 

Hey tw,

Thank for the welcomes!

Believe I made this post on the new member "forum"; does my question need to go a different route to gain a wider audience?

Need to fill up the truck with gas, so would like to gather more input b4 doing so.....

 

OP......Don't make a big deal out of this.

Just fill with 87 Octane fuel. Either 100% gas or 10% corn liquor is fine. The engine won't care.

To offer a fact about E10 fuels...... the energy in a gallon of E10 is <4% lower than 100% gasoline. I am skeptical if there is much if any performance difference. I'm sure there are many driver's with calibrated butt dynos that will say to the contrary. Even though, the numbers don't agree with their claims.

OP....you can oscillate between the 2 fuels. Only benefit will be a lighter wallet. It won't matter to the engine.
