Discussions of regular vs premium have been beaten to death. In my area we can buy 91 octane non ethanol fuel for about the same price as premium. I use non ethanol in everything I own with an ICE engine including my Ford F150. Hopefully in the next month I'll get together with a dealer at my price! Any thoughts on premium vs non ethanol?
 
My LC LC just arrived today and will pick up Friday! Maybe the supply is improving. There were 3 Land Cruisers on the truck

I run 91 ethanol free as well in all my vehicles new and old. Personally, my view has always been, If I wouldn't run ethanol gas in my lawn mower I damn sure am not running it in my vehicle.
 
I always go with 91 as well. I even put it in my 4R every 4th fill or so to top it off after I fill up my 911.

I put 91 in absolutely everything.

I have noticed that as well. Sharp Trail Dust with 20s. Well done.
 
E0 vs E10โ€ฆ

I bought my first new vehicle in 2006. Chevy Avalanche. Got it $10,000 below MSRP. Never got below 21.5 mpg on the interstate (NOT hypermiling). Then when E10 showed up at Costco ~2008, my MPG immediately dropped to 19 MPG.. on the very first tankโ€ฆ

E0 can be difficult to find sometimes. So I use the Pure-gas app on my iPhone. The 91 octane E0 is even more difficult to find.

EDIT: The Pure-Gas app is no longer available in the App Store, but the website is still up on the internet.

I will be picking up my LC FE in a few days.

Does anyone know if the initial fuel input in Japan is E0 fuel? Seems like they would do that since many of these vehicles are going to be shipped far and wide, and they probably donโ€™t want phase separation to occur in their vehicles while waiting on new owners to acquire them..
 
We have a decent chance of finding ethanol free 91 and even 87 Octane in the Black Hills. The only fuel our 2024 LC gets locally is ethanol free 91 Octane. This might explain our average of just shy of 23 MPG highway at 75 MPH on the stock 20โ€ wheels/tires. Leading me to believe that if we slowed down to 65 MPH we could probably see 24.5 to 25 MPG. Bear in mind there is very little traffic so we can steady state cruise without too much trouble.
