I'm about to supercharge my car and know that I will be using premium grade fuel. Is there any Toyota-preferred gasoline company? I did a search and it seems Ferrari recommends Shell. I'm no Ferrari, but I usually fill up at BP (Amoco). I remember seeing a list a while back with a few gas companies that are better for Toyota engines because of something in the gas. Does anyone have that? or does anyone if there is a recommended company by Toyota?

I know this won't make a noticeable difference, but figured since gas prices are pretty mcuh the same around town I might as well fill up at the best place.

Thanks.

I filled up with gas from QT and my check engine light came on lol.

NEVER AGAIN.

I thought it was the additives adjusting cuz it went off after a while.

And in my opinion, different companies do affect the car diffferently..

My brother put walmart gas in my car (i ought to kill him) and my car had a rough idle until i ran out of gas and filled upwith another company. And when i did fill up with was with shell....I noticed a power difference with acceleration and when i'm at 4000 RPM and the 2nd came kicks in.

I notice the difference and i do believe discounted and cheap gas don't have a short term effect (such as filling up once and MAYBE twice). If you use it all the time, i reccommend fuel injector cleaner and etc. etc. Because it does affect your car.

I use shell all the time. If not its chevron, and sometimes BP.

now.. tell me this.. doesn't any one here LOVE the feel of fresh gas in your car?!? I love it! The acceleration is amazing redface.gif).
