i have a bredren who runs his NZE1.5 strickly on super says that he does a gas treatment every time he does an oil change and he has no problems with injecters/power or anyother thing

I checked the toyota site and most of the vehicles were tuned to run a minimun of octane 87 but they said for better performanece use octane 91. Once your CR is less than 10.1 you shoud be safe with super, our super is rated at 92 and the premium at 95. The 4AG 20v never ever got the recommened 100 and everyone ran with the 95 with their knock sensor retarting their full potential. Want to cruise with a 'G' engine use anything , want to run hard use premium.

I found the manual for my car. It stated:
1NZ-FE engine - 95 octane rating
2NZ-FE, 3ZZ-FE and 1ZZ-FE engines - 91 octane rating
I have the 3ZZ-FE so I will try super...I think there was an ad in the saturday guardian from toyota stating the type of fuel to use.

really because i am looking at the mrs corolla manual now and it states for 1NZ-FE, 2NZ-FE ,1ZZ-FE AND 3ZZ-FE an octane level of 91 or higher is recommended so it super for the next fill up.

I have my NZE for about 5 months now and using super from day 1. I put an injector cleaner once and some say that you should put an octane boost as well. just my 2 cents.
