The last gas question - Toyota Yaris Forums

AH! Semantics. Does that mean minimum required, like, put at least 87 in it, or does it mean minimum required, ie: it requires the minimum.

The real, meaningful answer: I don't know one Toyota engineer that belongs to Yarisworld. Take the rest of this thread with a big, giant grain of salt and do what makes YOU happy.

I would think it means "put at least 87 in it", since many parts of the country have grades far below 87 octane. 85 is the low here...

where can one get 85?

I guess the only way to test it is to run some seafoam through the vacuum line and judge the carbon by the smoke....

It would be interesting how dirty a car can get in 21,000 miles regardless of fuel type though...

well since 87 is the minimum available how would you put a lower octane fuel in the car?
