imfauxreal Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Hi Peeps, Ive tried to use the E10 unleaded gasoline on my 1992 SC300, Surpirsingly the engine runs faster, but Im scared if it will damage my engine? Any comments on this?
jzz30 Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 really? E- 10 is a blend of regular gasoline with 10% ethanol content. oh and by the way you dont have to write so big we can all see :P

E- 10 is a blend of regular gasoline with 10% ethanol content. oh and by the way you dont have to write so big we can all see :P Sorry guys, Im just new here and I think I set it on a big letter accidentally. :P By the way, I'm from the Philippines I thought there was an E10 Gas there in America I own a 1992 SC300, BLack on Tan, Auto Trans very rare here in our country, I think were just 5 units here and we have no Lexus dealer, so we just rely on some specialist mechanics who has experience with Toyota since the engine is the same as a Toyota Crown Royal Saloon here. Here's the pic of my car
92Lex Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 E10 won't cause any damage to your engine. Some states are even attempting to mandate the use of 10% ethanol in 87 octane gasoline. Newer cars fuel systems were designed to safely run E10...daily.
jzz30 Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 nice! here in hawaii. its all E-10. just another way for gas companies to make more money!!!
92Lex Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Is E10 available everywhere in Hawaii, or just select gas stations? I wish I lived in a state that offered something better than this cali 91 craptane.
Micah Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Is this the gas that they use in densely populated cities? When I lived in Baton Rouge (south louisiana), they made us use a more expensive fuel b/c of air quality.
92Lex Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 What was the gas labeled as? Should have some kind of octane rating or what not. Yes, E10 would affect emission levels...depending on what contents your state tests for. I'd be happy with 93 octane or higher. This 91 is killing me. E10 must be killer for everyone with a stable supply of it. What was the gas labeled as? Should have some kind of octane rating or what not. E10 isn't a universal/readily available source of fuel...yet. I'd be happy with 93 octane or higher. E10 would be straight s*x for forced induction.
jzz30 Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 i dont know about other islands but oahu only uses e-10 as of maybe a year ago? or was like spring anyway its been a while. and supposedly it reduces emmisions.
92Lex Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Yes, it reduces certain emissions. It'd be kick-!Removed! to have my car run on your "daily" fuel everyday!! I envy your gas...pump gas that is!! Hahaha. How much is it per gallon over there?
jzz30 Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 premium runs $2.69-89 a gal. the emmisions part is good but the mileage is supposed to be reduced because ethonal has roughly 50% less energy so you need to burn a little more fuel to get the same power. but i havent noticed a difference...
