Hi Guys hope someone can help.

I would love to buy a TRD Aurion BUT cannot access 98RON petrol easily (that is its in the next town 50kms away). Are there any other options?? I would assume 95RON will not be enough and the engine will ping. What do people suggest??

Thanks

Shouldn't be so much of a problem... Do you work/socialise in the next town?

I have a similar situation - I live about 40 kms from town, so I just get it when I'm traveling to and from...

The engine will not ping. You just won't get optimal performance. The 2GR-FE works fine with 95RON. I've done this a few times with no negative consequences.

if you really really desperately want a TRD and you dont have access to 98ron at all.. you could always buy a bottle of octane booster with every tank of fuel you buy...

i've used 95ron only once in the TRD and that was because every fuel station was out of 98ron over the christmas period... it didnt make any huge difference, but i wouldn't recommend using a less spec fuel than what the factory suggests... talk to your local toyota dealer, because i have a feeling that the warranty may even become void for the engine... its worth asking about..
