What octane fuel is recommended?

[sroberts]

I looked on the Toyota website but could not fine what octane is recommended. Here in Denver, being at a higher altitude, our cheap gas is 85 octane. Can 85 be used or do they require the premium?

The car manual says 87 minimum. When it's time to fill my tank I plan to put 87 octane.

Thanks April!

yeah dude, says 87 octane. im using 89 ethanol blend

[why?]

At the high altitude you might be able to get away with 85. However it still might reduce your fuel economy.
