Gasoline question...
... what do you guys think? Fuel up with 87 octane with 10% ethanol added, or fuel up with 91 octane pure gas? The 91 octane pure gas is about $0.50/gallon more.
I fueled up with 87 octane pure gas for the first time today (was in a different town somewhat far away) and man does the engine sound more quiet! |

Unless you are racing just get the cheapest gas you can find. This car seems to work on anything. I hit 50 mpg on the crappiest gas in my area, and haven't been able to hit it again with other gas.

you will get better mileage with the ethanol free gas, but not enough to cover the $0.50 per gallon. even at 42 miles per gallon vs 38 miles per gallon, and at $3.50/gal vs $3.00, you'd get 12 miles per $1 vs 12.66 miles per $1. I cant imagine any performance benefit in a yaris.

The ethanol if you have a higher mileage vehicle may cause more dirt in the system.
It can break residue in the tank loose. Personally, I stay away from it though it may cost a little less. I never figured it per mile Norton |

probably just a more sensitive venturi valve on the nozzle or our tanks have smaller-diameter filler necks. in most cases it doesnt signify anything wrong. |
