Which octane is everyone using

90 Ethanol Free.

 

Yeah, I was totally expecting way more out of 91 E0. The first couple of tanks, I was disappointed but decided to stick with it. After 6 tanks, I was like WTH am I paying an extra $0.60 a gallon for? I switched back to 87 E0 and the first tank jumped by almost 1 mpg and it's continued upward since. I have been very conscious about driving the same way and trying not to affect the results and I am shocked at the difference.

 

85 here in Colorado. The truck seems to be happy with that grade but I should try 89 and see if that adds a little boost climbing the passes.

 

Jet A. Burns real nice and has all the vitamins and dinosaurs a guy needs.

 

Typically I run anything higher than 87 due to knocking and pinging/low RPM light throttle miss I get on 87. I can even run E15 88 octane from sheetz better than any 87 E10. No E0 around my parts so it is what it is.

If I fill up at a 1/4 to 1/2 of a tank of anything other than 87, I can top off with 87 and have no issues. I will fill up with 87 when towing since it only gets me about 200 miles before I am filling up again and i'm running right through it.

My truck tune is 100% stock.

 

I run av gas because it gives me something to talk about at the bar.

 

There's your problem, right there.

 

Toyota engines like high octane fuel. People instead spend money on fluff like bulbs and cheap rims.

 

102

 

Anyone used any of this?

 

check out ‘ TOP TIER FUELS ‘

all gas is NOT the same

all the gas same area diff brands are NOT the same

some have very diff aromatics...........................diff blends per region & weather

asking generic ? gets many varied answers

 

87 top tier only (Regular Unleaded in the South). Typically, Marathon with STP. Not on the top tier list? I don't buy it. Also that Marathon club where I get 5 cents off every time, then after so many point you'll hit 25 or 50 cent off a gallon not to exceed 20 gallons. Works fine for me and Marathons all over the place.

 

JP8 only

87 since day one!

 

Jet A if I can get it at the pumps, but it smokes a lot and makes the engine stall ;-)

But..Seriously

Does the Taco V6 on the 3rd gens have knock sensors and timing control to accommodate any fuel grade?

Audis do. Do Toy trucks?

10% Oxygenated 107 Octane racing fuel.

Because when you’re hammering the throttle on a 2TR-FE engine you just gotta tear up the road.

Actually 89 Octane Shell for the cleaning agents or another top tier fuel.
