  1. Just to beat a dead horse, based on the assurances in this thread (and the gas shortages here in Georgia), I just put a half a tank of 87 octane on top of the gallon or so of 93 left in my 06 GS300. There haven't been any "problems" so far, but the power loss is quite noticeable. It feels like a drop of 20 hp at least. Yeah, like I'm a human dyno--but it feels like a 10% to 15% drop across the board from a sluggish take-off to mid-band acceleration. Based on this I'm expecting lower mileage, but I'll report on this in a couple of days (I have a pretty set driving pattern and get very consistent mileage). It may not be worse since I'm not one to push the car at all (might as well be driving a Civic these days) and I don't have a ton of stop and go, but it sure seems like it could be worse for someone bound and determined to get up to speed as quickly as possible. We'll see. Regardless, though, I'm definitely going back to premium next time I fill up...assuming that occurs at a station that actually has some...
  2. I'm interested in hearing the details of the system for an 06 GS300. Thx. ptyork at hotmail dawt com
