the yaris says "87 or higher" which really doesnt make much sence because you cant get anything lower than 87 in north america

...the industry standard is to recommend the octane then add "or higher" at the end

They say some number and higher because say if you are driving in a foreign country....than something higher than whatever number they tell you can be used. But who would spend the money to be driving a U.S. car in Europe or Africa anyway ~

Like Tom said, just use mid grade. If its used car use cheap stuff. If its a new car in your first hands, use mid grade. If its hp is 173+ use premium~
