Fuel infor mation
Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your Toyota has a fuel tank opening that
only accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.
If premium gasoline is not available
If 91 rating gasoline cannot be obtained, you may use unleaded gasoline
with an octane rating as low as 87 (Research Octane Number 91).
If your engine knocks
Consult your Toyota dealer.
You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while
accelerating or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for
concern.
Gasoline quality
In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of
gasoline you are using. If driveability problems persist, try changing the
brand of gasoline. If this does not correct the problem, consult your Toyota
dealer.
Gasoline quality standards
Automotive manufacturers in the US, Europe and Japan have developed
a specification for fuel quality called World−Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC)
that is expected to be applied worldwide.
The WWFC consists of four categories that are based on required
emission levels. In the US, category 4 has been adopted.
The WWFC improves air quality by lowering emissions in vehicle fleets,
and customer satisfaction through better performance. Your vehicle must use only unleaded gasoline.
Premium unleaded gasoline with an
octane rating of 91 (Research
Octane Number 96) or higher required for optimum engine
performance.
At minimum, the gasoline you us e should meet th e specifications
of ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB3.5−M93 in Canada.
