Replying to: toyotasellingg (Jul 07, 2006 9:50 am) I am sure it runs fine on regular. What can you expect to lose in HP & torque using regular in a car that calls for Premium? Would it drop the HP to under 200 HP? The governemnt fuel economy website rates it at 17 MPG combined on Premium unleaded. Would you also get less MPG using the lower power fuel? |

Replying to: steve_ (Jul 08, 2006 10:33 am) It has been brought to our attention that the label on the FJ Cruiser fuel door states that Premium Unleaded Fuel Only is required. As the Owner's manual states " select Premium Unleaded gasoline (91 octane or higher) for optimum engine performance". However, Regular Unleaded fuel with a minimum octane rating of 87 is acceptable. The VOAS guide, brochure and website, show a rating of 239 hp, which was achieved using Premium Unleaded fuel. Please note that this rating may be reduced with the use of non-premium fuel.
