In the manual, it says that the Celica should run on 91 or higher RON octane.
I was wondering if there's any benefit to running 98 RON (as per BP Ultimate) consistently, and most importantly, whether it has any side effects or detriments to the car in the long or short term? Sorry if this has been asked before, search didn't come up with much. --------------------  |

Mr. E. if you have a JDM ECu in your UK car, there will be a difference but thats ONLY because your Ecu is tuned for the normal Jap gas and not the gas thats commonly used in UK. Same thing with my car, I have a JDM ecu so I HAVE to use 93 in my car all the time. But the US uses an average of the Jap system and the UK system so your system is FAR below the Jap system, thats why you feel the difference.
I'm talking about the US, KC I have to disagree with you. What kind of slight difference are you noticing? If its so slight, you wouldnt be noticing it. Now wouldnt your fuel economy decrease if your car is advancing timing on a higher octane gas? The only reason its doing that is because its nto detecting knock, which is what higher octane gas does, deter detonation.
