    Interesting post thanks Stephen, I tend to use mostly 91 or 95 if the price is good..I have never used 98 as it was always so overpriced and i don't use a lot of right foot, I noticed the difference obviously of the 95 when on the highway on long trips..but as we have all been driving way less and any interstate trip is a long way off I mostly use the 91..I have only ever used the cheapest E10 unleaded once..when having no choice but to use it or run out as all the higher pumps were empty at the only petrol station in a small town, so put in enough to get me to a bigger town and then filled up on the 95, using 91 I have never had an issue the car runs like a swiss watch always so to risk 91 I doubt you will have any problems.

    Damn Chris now that is one heck of a rip off by Toyota..I would feel exactly the same as you..I would be fuming and emails would be flying off my laptop to all concerned, so what have you decided too do?..is there no company who can fit any sort of roof racks to your Rav4?..that would be a thought to research any companies who have the ability to at least ease some of your pain..I am sure someone can at least come up with the answer for you.. I know what it feels like, I was forced into retirement from nursing when I injured my back at work, after fighting the insurance company for over 5 years to get a payout i got stuff all in the end..but I at least got them out of my life..bought a beautiful Aurion Presara and finally felt the pressure lift off my shoulders So..make a few calls mate..ask a lot of questions of companies who specialize in roof racks, 4WD companies etc.. Let us know what happens please..we are a group of people who like to help each other out when we can KAA

    Agree the price Toyota genuine parts charge has always been excessive..I looked at getting some new clips for the radiator shroud and walked out laughing at the prices for just 2 when i wanted 6 to replace all with new..finally tried Amayama and got 12 for a third of the price they wanted inc delivery Keep Safe KAA

    Glad you made it safely Ash, that is my birth place and I loved Cairns..haven't been back for a very long time so wouldn't know the place now, but I have beloved memories of the place..at least the beast got a good run and glad all went well..have a ice cold one for me KAA

    Same Comment here as Tony,Keith I am almost positive you will not find covers for those holes, Toyota thinking would have been why would anyone remove the seats, I do hope you get it sorted as holes sitting open is always a great place for dust and crap to accumulate let alone water KAA

    So finally a sunny enough day to get the pressure washer, the foam cannon, the new Nextzett Colourtec Iron Wheel Cleaner and wheel brushes out of the garage and give the beast a well deserved going over, Damn Tony that stuff is awesome..I will have to remove wheels next time around to get fully at the inside of the alloys. But a good spray and after about 20 minutes and some brush work WOW what a huge difference, I did all i can get to from the outside and they looked brand new..so Thanks Tony for the info on this product it is well worth the price and I highly recommended it Keep Safe KAA .

    so True Tony, it now takes a degree in engineering and computer science to just do a basic job job on these modern day engines, hence i don't touch a damn thing except tyre pressures,putting in fuel,checking dipstick,adding washer fluid and visually checking the engine..my mechanic is the man to do the swearing and fixing saves my blood pressure. I now days just keep it clean shiny and smelling nice inside Keep Safe KAA

    Wow, now that is being thorough..really thorough..I have always allowed "She Who Must Be Obeyed"..to suggest and guide my endeavours.. or at least allow her to believe she is..that way I get things done and she gets to think she got it done with her input..Naturally it was me all along who got it done but happy wife happy life, I do hope your trip is wonderful for you, enjoy that open road and air and unwind the brain Keep Safe KAA

    Well the courier arrived today with my Nextzett Colourtec Iron wheel cleaner and the plan I developed with "She who must be obeyed" was awesome..I can get my pressure washer out..my foam gun, my brushes and new cloths and go to town on the car..while My Love makes coffee and advises me on what I have missed cleaning ..The Perfect Plan....and then it starts pouring rain..Grrr Typical..(and the guys who look at the wet string and say rain or moving string and say wind)..say it will continue all weekend.. Bummer..oh well at least i can sit and read the bottle and wait..from all reports I have read and your posts Tony it looks great So Plan B is now next week..Thanks for the post Tony you have all of us jealous with you amazing looking beast Keep Safe KAA

    Awesome reply Thanks Tony..I am headed off to grab some new cloths and actually did find the Car care products supplier for the wheel cleaner who say they will have it delivered by end of the week..now that depends on Aussie Post actually delivering it in that time period but not in a rush so fingers crossed for a weekend clean job..I do have some excellent wheel brushes that fit nicely into the openings on the alloys and have never used them..I found them while doing a long needed clean out of garage..and went Ohhh forgot about these ..always appreciate your detailed posts mate so thanks yet again☺☺☺ Keep Safe KAA

    Thanks Tony..Awesome reports with awesome Pic's Thanks mate..you do a excellent job of looking after your beast..makes me jealous I don't have the energy to get into all that you do..Where did you buy the wheel Cleaner? as it did an excellent job I am planning on pulling off the wheels this week to give them the care and attention they deserve as I have only done areas I can get too without removal but they do need a good going over on the inside I noticed today. Keep Safe And thanks again for the detailed report KAA

    Virtually the same reply as Ash, I regularly read up on latest tyre deals and crosscheck reviews about ones i feel are suitable for my car and driving style and preferences, I don;t mid paying a small amount more for the better quality brands having had them on my cars for years..It always pays to check out a few dealers for deals like pay for 3 get 4. I have a short list of ones I know are good quality and never for a cheap alternative..as others have said they are your only saviour between the car and the road KAA

    I agree with all comments about the Power and torque that the Aurion provides, I like many am not into pushing the car I just enjoy knowing if I need to push down my foot it will always deliver..not only POWER but also a smooth delivery of that power..Mostly I just enjoy the fuel efficiency along with the smooth and comfortable feeling sitting in the cabin enjoying music and my wonderful wife beside me I miss long trips but then I am not alone in that fact, and if all will do the right thing we can all get back too seeing loved ones..beautiful places and adventure again soon Stay Safe KAA
