hey i have 05' camry V4 from the time i have bought the car i have been putting in Super fuel but since the gas prices are so high i wanted to change it to regular would that make a difference to my car or is there a difference between SUPER or REGULAR fuel for camryy? can i change it w/o damaging anything in my car or should i stick to SUPER
U have been an idiot for putting in 91 in a Camry. It doesn't require it and won't do anything except making your wallet lighter... o wait, we use credit card now..

Reason: spelling
First of all you have a Inline-4 not V-4...I put Super in my 04 Camry for about a week when I first got her then i saw gas prices hit the roof and i started to buy regular. So based on my experience you can change or switch to regular with no problems.

With the possible exceptions of the exotic Italian sportscars et al., there aren't any gasoline fueled cars sold in the US that can't run on 87 octane. The manufacturer may stipulate 91 for purposes of CAFE standards and published horsepower ratings, but that does not mean they can't live happily with 87.

Yup, and I left my tranny at take off, a few seconds later smoke start coming out, and the seats got really hot, hotter that those heated leather seats... The car is about to blow!!! Hahaha...

That's not true. There are many cars that become unhappy with 87 octane. My LS1 was one of them.
This topic has been covered many times. Use what the manufacturer recommends. For the Camry it's regular unleaded.
There are many immature people commenting on this topic, whenever it gets posted.
If you can find super for a .20 difference then by all means go for it. It will be less than a $4 difference when filling up. Everyone is not in the poor house. Four dollars a week will not make or break me. This guy may have a decent job and can a afford the good gas. The only idiot on the boar, is the immature ahole who doesn't realize its a personal preference.
The main reason 87 is recommended for most cars is because many people would not have bought the car they have if they were told by the salesman that they should run higher octane gas. Especially in these times, its mostly a marketing ESSENTIAL.
I have been running 92/93 octane for 20 years. All my cars run better than their cohorts after having them 10+ years. Some of the people on the internet commenting on gas quality will not even be able to finish paying for their car! Use YOUR judgement!

Your post is completely incorrect. Actually stupid is a better word for it.
Recommended/required fuel isn't personal preference. To call someone an "ahole" because of your stupid and inaccurate belief is even more stupid. I suggest that only an "ahole" would do such a thing. A complete idiot ahole at that. Sales personal also has nothing to do with fuel recommendations or requirements either.
Another post littered with insults and myth... Facts are actually better. YOUR judgement sucks.
when i was turbo'd on my past car i used 93 but when prices went up i tried 87 once, thinkin how could you possibly feel the different but i did. the car didnt accelerate as fast (personal opinion) and also the gas just went by to quick. but the main purpose for more octane means that fuel can be compressed to a higher level before detonation / knock occurs in an engine which is great for FI vehicles.
