What's a good gas brand? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

What's a good gas brand (there's so many out there!) to get for the FR-S? My family has always used Mobil Regular for our Toyota's. Also, I know the FR-S runs on Premium but can you also put Plus in there? Sorry if my questions sound dumb, pretty new to all this stuff and eager to learn! TIA

You will need to run premim unless you are out of gas and none is available,

Car will run fine on probably as low as 89 but not ideal,

As far as brands of gas go just stay away from the no name discount stuff

Shell or Sunoco for me

Usually the name of the station isn't really relevant, the gas in your area will all come from the same storage facilities. Some brands may have some gimmicky add-ons, but other than that, it's all the same gas.

Just fill it with 93 and you're fine.

Speedway for me. Always good and cheap.

NYCsubaruBRZ · 09-12-2013, 05:18 AM

your good with any 93 octane. like someone said, it all comes from the same place. also like some one else mentioned only run a lower grade gas if u cant get 93.

Cam2 would be the best gas you can get on the street. idk how much it is now... maybe 13 a gal? its around 110 octane they have a few different grades.

probably a waste of money for cam2 but yea thats the best gas that i know of

Shell v power

Esso

Ultramar

Petro canada

In that order

I use either Shell or Mobil 93 only. I'd rather run out of gas before I stop at a different station.

To bad every gas station I know and have run into has ethanol, I tend to try and stick with shell.. But like everyone says its all the same gas pretty much..one thing I always stick to is if you see a tanker filling up the station KEEP DRIVING it mixes all the sediment up in the tanks and then goes into your car

Shell, no ethanol means no chirp!
