At most service stations you'll find E10, regular unleaded petrol (ULP), and premium ULP available. E10 is a blend of 90 per cent unleaded petrol and 10 per cent ethanol which, unlike oil, is a renewable fuel, made from plant-based waste products. Show It will generally be the cheapest option at the pump, but check your car's manual to find out if it's recommended for your vehicle. Some later model cars, for example, should be run only on premium unleaded petrol. While premium ULP is more expensive, it burns more efficiently and because the car runs better, you should get better mileage. Hybrid carsThese combine electric motors and conventional engines, which means less fuel consumption than a conventional petrol vehicle and lower ongoing costs. Because of the way their engines function, hybrids are best suited to city driving. Toyota introduced the first hybrid car in Australia, the Prius, in 2001, so has had time to work with the technology. Since then, other hybrids have been launched into the market and more are being developed both here and overseas. Hybrids are more expensive to purchase up front, but fuel costs will be less over the life of the vehicle. Emissions of hybrid cars are lower than those of conventional vehicles, which can be an important factor for some car buyers. Diesel carsDespite diesel's reputation as a dirty fuel, modern fuel-injected turbo diesel engines are very efficient, and last longer. While diesel vehicles may cost slightly more than a similar petrol-fuelled car, they become economical if you are making regular long trips. As a general guide, if you drive 30,000km a year or more, over long distances, the higher cost of a diesel vehicle may be worth it. Like petrol, diesel is available everywhere, so it's a safe choice. Diesel engines shine when it comes to towing or carrying heavy loads and driving long distances. Electric carsElectric vehicles are not yet widely available in Australia, and those that are available are relatively expensive. Running costs are obviously much cheaper than fuel-powered cars. But a lack of charging infrastructure means that only people with reasonably short commutes, and somewhere to recharge, could realistically take up this option for now. My people are under the impression that it is beneficial to use a high octane or premium gasoline (90 or higher octane) for their Toyota. The fact is no Toyota, (Other than the Toyota Supra that has a BMW engine) uses a grade of gasoline above higher than 87. The electronic control module of most Toyotas is tuned to 87 Octane. Many people believe that opting for a higher grade gasoline will improve the performance of your car, but this is not so. Gasoline ratings have been determined on the basis of octane; 87 octane is regular, 89 octane is mid-grade and 91 or higher octane is premium. The octane ratings are not an indication of performance, but instead, indicate the fuel’s resistance to pre-ignition. xMusashix You must be a subscriber to .

10.2 is the static compression. The dynamic compression is the real number that influences fuel requirements. If the cam profiles are different or the variable cam programming is different I could see there being a real fuel requirement difference They may have also just bumped up the ignition timing to give the lexus more power. Youd have to compare dyno curves to see a true difference, max torque and hp wont really reflect that. Reply Quote 0 aggiepaintrain You must be a subscriber to .

As APT said, IH8MUD is the best Land Cruiser (and LX) website out there. The users are from around the world and are the most helpful and passionate group you can imagine. I have been active on it for years with my 80 (never should have sold ), 100 (225k) and 200 (105k). Reply Quote 0 1 edit Does the Toyota Land Cruiser require premium gas?The fact is no Toyota, (Other than the Toyota Supra that has a BMW engine) uses a grade of gasoline above higher than 87. The electronic control module of most Toyotas is tuned to 87 Octane. Many people believe that opting for a higher grade gasoline will improve the performance of your car, but this is not so.
What type of gas does Land Cruiser take?Compare Side-by-Side. Which Toyota vehicles require premium gas?Toyota does not, by definition, require premium gas in their vehicles. Regular or mid-grade gasoline will work perfectly in almost every single Toyota. The only Toyota model that needs a higher grade fuel is the Toyota Supra.
What happens if regular gas is used instead of premium?If your vehicle's manufacturer recommends using premium gasoline, then filling up with premium is a good idea. Using lower octane fuel in a high-performance engine over time could eventually cause knocking, potentially damaging the engine.
