The 1GR-FE engine in our lux is a good candidate for Premium due the the 10.0:1 Compression ratio aswell.
Mine has a sticker in the fuel filler saying E10 OK!.
That being said i have only used Caltex Vortex Premium Unleaded 95 octane, since purchasing the vehicle.
has been great lots of power, and after 3000km now, i feel the fuel economy is getting better, making the difference between 91/95 in cost negligible. Manual states tojo recommends 95 Unleaded for best performance aswell.
on a recent long highway drive, i had fuel down to 10/11L per 100k/ Sitting in between about 105/110km/h
Stop and start city im getting about 12/13km (as advertised by tojo).
which imo is still pretty good. 1 tank gets me to and back from work for a month =].
315km/per f/n (not far to work)
I would be interested in trying E10 fuel but i dont want to undo the all the work in getting the ECU working nicely with the Vortex, and it takes around 2500++k/m for it to aparently start to fully appreciate a change in fuel.
I use Caltex only too, no woolworths petrol plus, etc. if there are no Caltex then to BP.
