hey yall i was wondering what type of gas do yall use, i put unleaded the 87, is it possible if i put in that 89 type. whats better . and ooh yeah i have an 08'.

I've always run 87 octane, 89 and higher is supposed to run better and might slightly improve mileage, but nothing dramatic. Higher octane helps some engines run better but mine has always run fine on 87.

age old question about gas octane... a higher octane does not mean more performance. It just means the gas/air mixture can be compressed higher before it ignites, thus giving more power output. But the engine has to be designed for a higher compression in order to use it. For example, if you used 87 in an engine designed to run (and compress) on 91/93, then you would get pre-detonation and pinging sounds from the engine. stick with 87, unless you want to give more $$$ to oil companies.

TYPE of gas? Unleaded gasoline.

Octane? 87.

Anything over 87 octane is a waste of money. There is nothing to gain by using a higher octane in the Camry, it wasn't designed for it.

I always use 87 octane on my 4cyl and always will.

 

[EJA]

87 in the Camry and used 93 for the "toy" (1967 Coronet 500)

I always use 87 cuz its the cheapest, even in my old '90 V6 LE I put 87 in it even though it recommend higher octane. I look at it this way if 87 octane could really ruin cars then the gas companies couldn't sell the stuff.

I used Chevron 93 religiously for a while, then I tried Texaco when they started using techron and it was pretty good.Recently I almost let my car run out of gas and I stopped at a B.P. and i liked it so much I kept using it.93 is less prone to premature detonation and believe me or not,I can hear a difference.

I only use 100 octane racing fuel because for every extra point in the octane rating, you gain 5HP.

Not.

 

[JSM1284]

I only use QT Mid Grade 89 octane.

 

[ram]

how does QT clean your engine...i wish we had them in FL. I only sitck to B.P. 87. I might use 93 right after an oil change tho.

i use my own flatulence to power my car. i modified my drivers seat to filter my flatulence into a usable energy source. the passenger and rear seats are backups as they have a holding chamber that collects any flatulence when there is someone present on the seat. its the energy source of tomorrow... today.
