Does anyone know what compression the Pred has and whats the best high octane fuel you can safely burn?

 

Seems to me it was just shy of 11:1. I run 92 in mine, I think the manual says you can safely burn regular 87.

 

the ds comes with 9+ and they recommend 92, i put a 11.5 in and they say 92 and it runs good on the 92, but a little race gas seems to help.

 

Mate I use 96 down here.

Hey Geoff, a little round the world fun, how much is gas down under?

 

G'day Ken.

.92c per litre, which should be about 4.17c per gallon. But because of our dollar compared to yours, is about half your value, it would therefore cost you about double those figures.
What's yours mate?

Wow, guess we're kinda lucky. Ever since the bombs started dropping so did the gas prices (^%$# oil companies jacking around) er, ah, back to the question. I think today I saw $1.42/gallon that's for regular 87 octane. Like I said, guess we're pretty lucky. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I run 87 octane in my TLD. Seems to run just fine.

 

140 I just run the 92 for good measure. Hey Geoff, just like I said about the oil companies playing around, today, the price dropped down to $1.35/gallon. Hmm, we get less than 2% of our oil from them, yet it affects things that much? Someone's stuffing some pockets.

 

I belive I read in my manual that the pred has 10.8:1 compression. Anywhere from 87-92 octane works just fine.
