^ Garm and Parmas are the only ones.
I actually only run 89 now with no issues. It's incredibly unlikely the noise is actually pre-detonation. |

Well I haven't heard any pinging sounds since switching to 93. Would there be anything else that would make a pinging like sound that would improve by switching to a higher octane fuel? I'm wondering if the ethanol is having an affect on the octane rating?

ethanol does have an effect on the octane rating, it makes it higher.

Bringing this thread back to the top. Still trying to find some answers to a previously asked question earlier in the thread. For those of you who are running on 87 with no pinging, is there ethanol blended in?

100% E10 use since new, no pinging on 87 octane under any circumstances.

Also, sg11 you are correct there is less energy in the ethanol so ethanol blends contain slightly less energy. Many here report mileage losses when they had to switch over to E10.

Based on what you said, and I guess based on the fact that I have 3k miles left on my warranty, I was wondering if I should take it in to Toyota to see why I'm pinging... Is this something they'll chalk up as just what gas station I fill at, or will they actually do some tests? And last but not least, is a pinging problem something that a warranty would repair?

^^Disregard. Just called Toyota. Says he has to do tests to establish the cause, which could take several hours. Additionally, he wasn't sure if Toyota would honor said causes under the warranty. There's no way of knowing until he finds the cause, and submits it to Toyota warranty center for approval. If approved, customer pays nothing. If denied, customer gets charged $107.00 for the diagnosis.
Pretty risky. In the meantime, he recommended getting gas only at BP or Shell for at least two full tank cycles. If pinging stops, great. If it persists, bring it in to the dealership.

Yep. sounds like a dealership thing.. Also, see if you can get them to pull up a newer yaris and compare the sounds with the service writer. If you can get the service writer to confirm thier is a difference in noise, then you have a better chance of the mechanic to do proper tests instead of just saying "working as disigned", "no problem found", or "normal for this model".
