...also the "xx or higher" is the industry standard for recommending fuel. so my lexus gs430 says "93 or higher" which really doesnt make much sence, because 93 is the highest pump gas avaliable in north america... toyota is saying "use 93"

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


"....using a higher octane gasoline than your owner's manual recommends offers absolutely no benefit. It won't make your car perform better, go faster, get better mileage or run cleaner. Your best bet: listen to your owner's manual."

why do people insist on ignoring empirical and statistical data?
