Re: [RC] 93 Octane? (was: gas mileage) - Linda Marins

When I bought my last truck in 2004, the
Toyota Tundra required 93 octane gas.

Is this for real or a typo?  None of the gas stations that I go to sell
93 octane gas.  The highest you can get is 91.  Are there other places
in the country that sell 93 octane...besides airports (if I remember
correctly, the distinction of aviation fuel is that it is high octane)?

Yes and No.

- It is a typo in that I meant to say "requires minimum 91
   octane" gas.  However...
- Supreme gas in Tennessee is 93 octane (currently $3.17
   per gallon at the offramp nearest my house).  TN also
   has no statewide emissions standards.  My 2004 GMC
   6L V8 3500 is not registerable in many other states.
- I could have sworn that "91 minimum" is what the
  Toyota salesman told me in 2004.  On the other hand,
  my neighbor uses 87 octane in his '03 Tundra and he
  says it works just fine.  Maybe it was the GMC
  salesman who said that.  I can no longer find my
  giant 17"x11" 2004 Tundra product brochure to
  verify my statement.
