It is exceedingly foolish to run premium in the Yaris. A very small displacement engine, not having high compression, nor turbo...and in fact running premium may well cause the engine to make less power, as it is not tuned for that octane. The speed-racers, boy-racers, often those under 28 years of age run premium...it makes up for voids in their lives, sadly, and is funny too.

An interesting opinion, and very different to mine and that of a lot of other rally competitors I know.
