88 octane or 93

I just get whatever the cheapest one is and call it a day

 

depends on where you live. when i lived in northern Virginia there were was no ethanol-free fuel available unless you drove an hour away to a more rural area. Here in eastern NC, there is ethanol-free fuel at every Circle K, GOGAS, and Scotchman stations. Gogas has 93 ethanol-free, circle k has 89. big racing and boating scene here in NC.

 

I’m in Indiana.
I can get it in Wabash and Kokomo

Take a look at the Pure Gas app

 

good but they really need a map instead of just a list of addresses. they need to update their site.

 

This engine loves octane, particularly when hot. 93 is allows timing to advance and = less knock. Very important when towing or heavy loads.

 

My Tacoma doesn’t seem to care, but since my E250 clearly doesn’t like the 88, (rough idle and hesitation when cold) I run 87 all the time. I have tried premium in both, but it isn’t a noticeable improvement.

 

Wow…..didn’t think I would need to spoon feed.

Ok, there is a tab at the bottom of the page click it, and it displays a map with all the locations. Or if you could click on the one of any of the addresses it automatically populates to a map can you click directions.

 

It takes a bit of time for the ecu to adapt. If you monitor the timing and knock you would notice the difference.

 

nice. didn't even notice that.

 

Sorry…..that sounded very snappy.
