    87 non ethanol or 93 octane for me. Put a bottle of Seafoam in the tank every 8-10k miles. Runs great for me

    There is no performance benefits to higher octane fuel in the Taco. I've owned cars that "Recommended" higher octane fuel and used 87 octane with no adverse effects to mileage and performance. If a car is "Required" then use higher octane fuel. No need for additives. $ave your money. However, if it makes you feel better to spend the extra ca$h on higher octane fuel that your engine does not need, the oil companies will love you.
