Probably the 91-oct equivalent.

Not liking the red interior with the orange. The cup made me actually laugh out loud.

Interesting they keep hiding the weight of the car.

91 is premium over in the US isnt it? 91 is the base unleaded fuel in Aus.

Would be interesting finding this information out in the near future. what exact fuel requirements the car takes. Then can take into consideration how much the yearly cost of ownership of the car would be.

Who cares..... Stick it on E85 ethanol..... Will cost a bit but run cooler and be up for pushin more power.......

LOL....

TOMIMOTO · 11-30-2011, 07:47 PM

Is there any news as to when the US showing of the FR-S will be?

I'm a Subaru guy, but I'm leaning towards the Toyota/Scion. Subaru's usually have a face only the owner can love, but I'm all set with that red headed step child called the BRZ.

Someone asked yesterday about the type of tire on the Toyota 86 on display at the show.

They are Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires - 215/40 front and 225/40 rear.

In California the highest octane sold is 91 R+M/2 aka 95RON, so I don't think they'll require more than that.

Great Tires Thanks Hachi!

^This.

The rest of us get 98 RON aka 93 (RON+MON)/2 at some stations. It's a messed up system really since that does not give a real octane value but a contrived average between two different octane metrics. I hope when we switch to the metric system that we switch to RON for octane. It's one of the many minor details that piss me off about this country that doesn't even register with most Americans.

It's the same fuel quality either way, we even have a few 100 (RON+MON)/2 octane pumps but rarely. It's the E85 that is the special stuff though. But availability is the big issue. CARB needs to stop cutting pennies to save dead bunnies.

Like I said, from the press kit. They look CGI to me but either way, pretty neat. Also got a FT-86 Sticker and GT86 paper model. I'll take a pic and post it and some other stuff tomorrow. Time for bed!
