    Hey everyone I just bought a 2011 sr5 access cab with a 2.7L I am running non ethanol 87 octane. Can I also run 91 octane will it hurt anything. My driving is only back and forth to work 6 miles a day. Thanks for any reply's and have a great day.

    Higher octane won't hurt anything but the wallet. You might see a slight increase in mileage, but that's debateable ( see current arguments on the ongoing "Top Tier Fuel" thread)

    In my V6, I get 1 MPG increase, and its not debatable in my vehicle, its proven. A little more juice from a higher octane fuel. Butt dyno approved.

    In your 4 banger though, I don't know what the effects are. Use your butt dyno and do some mileage tests :D

    The 2.7 has no benefits when running a higher octane than 87.

    I use CO-OP non ethanol gas 87 octane that's all I have to pick from where I live I don't know if they have good gas all I do know is it is non branded gasoline.

    Can't speak for where you're from, but the Co-op fuel up here recently became part of the Top Tier group.
    And off topic, Chris 4x4, what's this spider eating nonsense?:D
