Regular unleaded gasoline is recommended but the octane is 85 many places but 87 in the manual.

Asked by rfv1935 Nov 01, 2014 at 11:55 AM about the 2014 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab LB V6 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Example, Denver Colorado and other cities and areas, 87 octane is the baseline and 89 and 91 are the more premiums. Is 85 octane suitable for the 2014 Tacoma or is the midgrade or premium required?

Use 87octane. 89 or 91 is acceptable but not necessary, you will get the same economy and performance with a all octanes, but 85 has a lower ignition temperature and may pre-detonate. Avoid any fuel with more than 10% ethanol

My sis in Sacramento says her 2015 Tacoma 4WD likes 89 octane more than regular 87, even though Toyota recommendation is 87. She says runs smoother on 89.
