hey whats up everyone, im new here but i was curious if you guys think its worth it to fill the tank with mid grade (89 i think) or premium (91 i think) gas. as you might have guessed i dont know too much about cars/trucks or anything automotive. btw i just bought a 02 sport edition as you can see in the pic, so far ive put a grille guard (some ĊĊĊĊty one i wish i hadnt bought), tints, a new cd player and a K&N cold air intake

 

87 octane, even when towing my 3700 pound camper in the summer with the a/c on at 70 mph. Anything higher than that is just a waste of money on a third gen unless you have a supercharger.

 

i run 87 chevron gas, never had a problem, btw its 4 a 02 taco v6

 

87 sunoco or BP

 

87 Chevron or Shell gasoline- truck has prob. never seen any higher octane. '91 3.0 w/ 192K. Runs perfect.

 

The cheap stuff!

 

87 octane

 

93, almost every time. I'm running some tests on 89, but so far 93 gives me substantial increases in MPG.

 

Regular 87 here.

 

The cheapest on the sign

 

87 unless there is a road trip invloved then I go 89 with some sort of fuel injector cleaner for kicks.. ohh and for those who know. what does "WOT" stand for?? 99 4 Runner 4x4 Stock...

 

Wide Open Throttle

 

87 shell, except for one tank when I add fuel treatment after every oil change, when i run 93 shell.

 

Always used regular unleaded. Never any problems.

 

The only gasoline we have in Hong Kong is Octane 98 US$7.22/gallon The advantage of running such a high Octane value gasoline is no pinging in the engine even though I fitted the TRD s/c'r.

87 for me. I'll run mid-grade stuff (91) for 2 or 3 tanks once a winter just because my truck seems to like the change. I don't notice any improvements in running 91 long term, but for 3 weeks or so in the middle of winter, the truck seems to like it.

Though, with gas prices so high this winter, I'm yet to do it.

 

87 for me. Sometimes I'll tank up with 89 if I'm towing but I don't really notice a difference on my 3rd gen, either in performance or fuel mileage (and I keep strict mileage records). My 2nd gen, on the other hand, needed 89 or better whenever I towed for additional hill climbing power and to stop occasional pinging. Otherwise, anything higher than 87 is a waste of your hard-earned $$'s.

 

89, ehich they call Plus in New Jersey, might just be me, but it seems to get me an extra 15 miles or so to a tank, Citgo.

 

87 is midgrade for us and that's what I use.
