Toyota Gasoline?, Preference Options

[JoKeRkId613]

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.

The detergents are more for the FUEL system than for the intake system. And the fuel is not fully evaporated or intermixed by the time it reaches the back side of the intake valve, partially allowing a 'wash' of the valve. As a fact you can check with engine manufacturers and the direction of swirl on test engine scan be determined by what side of the bore is worn more, the un evaporated fuel hits the side and washes the oil off partially causing slightly accelerated wear.



But to be honest, unless you NEED the extra octane, it is a waste to use higher octane fuel.


But it does seem to me as well that shell has a better formulation than other brands, based on personal experiance, and many trips to see my parents 1,600 miles away. Both in fuel mileage and in performance "feel".
