what kind of gas do you use?

octane in solara

The book with my 2002 says 87 octane, but with a 10:1 compression ratio I go alittle higher, runs find on 89 octane. Using anything higher is money out of your pocket. The car really won't run any better with the higher octanes

I use 87 octane in I4. I used it in my 1991 Toyota Corolla DX. I had it for 11 years and 150,000 miles. It did it no harm. I never had a problem with the fuel system, injectors or anything else for that matter.

I think as long as you properly maintain your engine it wouldn't matter what gas you choose. But, doesn't higher octanes burn cleaner? Wouldn't that mean in your engine too?
