What the **** is up with people saying it is dangerous to go higher with octane? The manual gives you the LOWEST octane rating the car will run on. The higher the number, the better. There is no damage from going to a higher octane level - you are just putting in purer fuel.

Higher octane fuel is actually less pure because of the extra additives which are used to make the fuel ignite at a higher temperature. These additives are also why it costs more. Running fuel of an octane higher than what your engine is designed for can help with knock (detonation) but that is generally where the benefits stop. The detriments are: - Fouled spark plugs due to the deposits left via incomplete burning. - Greatly increased emissions due to incomplete burning. - Fouled O2 sensors due to these emissions. - Fouled catalytic converter due to these emissions. Stick to what your engine is rated for. The 1NZ-FE engine in the Yaris is designed for 87 octane gasoline.

Little bit of the subject but that is why all the early RX7's should run the least octane in the Wankel...slow burn and doesn't promote the carbon buildup problem the rotarys have. Thanks for refreshing my memories on the rotarys Bailout!
But I still believe the computer compensates to allow 87 octane when used....but a higher octane allows the computer to benifit from the 10.5: compression.... |

Sorry but you're living in the land of dillusion...using octane higher then 87 for your Yaris will give you WORSE milage....why is this so hard for you to understand? Using higher octane means the combustion is RETARDED, meaning that it takes MORE gas to give the car the same power....this means lower milage...the only exception to this is if the car is engineered (tuned) for higher octane....you keep thinking that ALL cars behave the same with higher octane...this is dillusion, or worse.
