Replying to: steve_ (Jul 08, 2006 11:33 am) Oops I would like to redact my admission of defeat. The following is cut and pasted directly from Toyota Canada's dealer communication site:   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. Replies to this message: steve_ (Jul 09, 2006 7:29 pm) toyotasellingg (Jul 09, 2006 8:11 pm)

Replying to: toyotasellingg (Jul 09, 2006 7:24 pm) Now they should issue a TSB and mail out new stickers.   The other thing that may be reduced, besides HP, is mileage.   Steve, Host Replies to this message: toyotasellingg (Jul 09, 2006 8:11 pm)

Replying to: steve_ (Jul 09, 2006 7:29 pm) They should. The fuel economy numbers are probably accurate as the EPA (and Transport Canada) tests would have been done with the reccomended fuel which is regular--despite the sticker. The HP is the same as the other models that share that engine - 236 and 266 Lb.ft.

Replying to: steve_ (Oct 27, 2006 9:40 am) What exactly is a front rock guard and where do you get them. Do they really work? Replies to this message: steve_ (Oct 28, 2006 8:30 am) trd_se (Dec 26, 2006 9:47 am)

Replying to: canman1971 (Oct 28, 2006 5:27 am) A quick net search didn't turn up a rock deflector specifically for the FJ. They look something like this smoked one:     You may want to browse the Bug guards, protective bras & film discussion, but those guys are mostly trying to prevent paint chips.   If the rock misses the deflector, it won't help. Lots of people like them though. Replies to this message: trd_se (Dec 26, 2006 9:47 am)

Replying to: steve_ (Oct 28, 2006 8:30 am) Toyota is now selling a rather good looking bug deflector for the FJ. Got my wife one for her TRD-SE as an Xmas present. Haven't been able to install it though, since one bracket was fubar.   Still going to lower the deductible on the inssurance - I was at the dealership and there was an FJ there getting his second windshield...

11.8 is all I need to see.

17.1 mpg on PREMIUM fuel?? Thats sickening. You'd spend less on gasoline in a Suburban than this thing!   And $1,438 on a new windshield? Thats also ridiculous. Goes to show that even if imports' perceived quality is better, you pay for it dearly in more expensive "maintenance" items like this. Replies to this message: alpha01 (Jun 29, 2007 6:48 am)

Replying to: masospaghetti (Jun 29, 2007 6:08 am) In context, 17.3 MPG overall given the acceleration, weight, towing, and off road excursions seems very acceptable. And I doubt you'd do better in an excursion under the same circumstances.
