just my two cents ... i just bought my YARIS a week ago and I LOVE IT .. therefore i use 93 octane .. now does this change anything .. ofcoarse it does .. even if it's only perception .. since my perception is in favor for better gas milage and higher performance i tend to drive a little harder and faster .. just my two cents

Your perception is for better gas mileage so you drive harder??? That's counter productive...

Like I stated above. The higher mileage being noted is IMO a placebo type effect. You think higher octane will help, thus it does.

If requiring higher octane would turn away potential buyers, why not atleast tell them what everyone in here is saying? Increased octane = increased mpg? Cuz it's not true...
