No kidding?
Gee no one but you would have thought about that.
The Hybrid engine has a 12.4 to 1 compression ratio, and even though it's an Atkinson Cycle engine, the high compression can still make use of the higher octane.
And...Mr. knows more than anyone else....Toyota even shows in the owner’s manual the fact that ANY octane can be used as long as it's at least 87.

There is no warning not to use higher octane.
And in a previous post, I clearly stated that most of my miles were put on around town, where the engine was under moderate to heavy loading most of the time, so as a result, my mileage went up because I was able to get up to speed sooner with the added horsepower afforded me through the increased engine timing.

And please, try to save up some money, so you can get a life...a real life...not this one, where everyone is always doing it wrong, just because you say so.

And why do you think anyone would take your advice anyway?
You don't even own a Hybrid.
Did the HL board throw you out?
Did they get tired of hearing you telling them how wrong they were too?

If you have something constructive to post, then fine, go ahead, but if all you’re going to do is criticize everyone for not viewing the world, according to you, then go away, and stop bothering us here.
