Re: You blew it for me Toyota!!!!
I think the mark-up on these things is more of a deal breaker than the premium gas requirement. Still, I think it's a valid point. Is the $150~$200 bucks a deal breaker for most, NO. But you gotta wonder, especially with gas prices rising, why anything but a high performance sports car needs premium gas. I mean, this is an FJ for goodness sake, not an M3.
The only reason for premium gas is with high compression engines that require it. If you can run regular fuel without detonation, then it's a waste of money to run premium. And if the FJ can run regular, Toyota should market it as such. /Mike
