I looked to my left and saw a young Woman fill up her new Toyota Corolla with 98. To my right was a young Fellow filling his Black FPV F6 Ute with E10 !!!

Otherwise the injectors will block up very quickly, a lot of Taxi drivers learnt this the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand 98 is a more processed fuel. But why is it critical for Prius injectors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've had their injectors replaced on more than one occasion and Toyota says you should use 98, those who do haven't had a problem since. This is only for the Prius, the Hybrid Camry and the rest have no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't find any thing suggesting to use 98 RON fuel. A boring 30 minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
