What gas station do you go to for a fuel up ???
Are all gas stations the same. Will the extra 20 cents per gallon difference from other gas stations make our engines last longer Or just fuel up with the cheapest fuel store ..??? Also any of you use any fuel injector cleaners ??? This post has been edited by Oreo20: Mar 26, 2014 - 10:03 AM |

Idk if the higher octane makes much difference unless you're running turbo.
The local place I usually go to is 10% ethanol. Ive heard good and bad things about it. -------------------- Bust a Deal; Face the Wheel.

Have a good read through that website. For a 5S or 7A, you'll ideally want to fill up with fuel from a top tier station, but you only need 87-89 octane. Anything higher is throwing money away, and you can ignore anyone's brother's friend who swears he gets better gas mileage by filling up with premium. For a 3S-GE or 3S-GTE, you'll definitely want higher octane fuel to resist detonation. Edit- Mike beat me to it. That's what I get for typing too slowly.

Its just about quality. The car would run as long as its proper gas. My moms Camry le w/5sfe is at 280k and my whole life I remember it being pumped with circle k or Arco gas. 87 octane. But I run chevron 89 octane all the time.
