So what kind of gas are you using in your Scion? The owners manual says use 87 octane fWhich is what I have been putting in so far (from SHELL) The dummy daughter used midgrade.

Unboosted? 87 is exactly what you need.
Boosted? Start looking for pricey gas.

Besides, going from 87 to a tank of 89 does absolutely NOTHING to the car. Except lighten your wallet.

yeah...running e-85 in your tc is great way to ruin your engine since it isn't designed to run on it. vehicles have flex fuel designations for a reason. and the tc isn't made to run on it.
as for bio fuels being efficient. e-85 isn't. you get 25% fewer mpg on a fuel that isn't 25% cheaper than gasoline...so your not getting much benifit at all.
biodiesel is a great one though. if there is anything we aren't short on in american, it is fatty waste kitchen oil and grease to change into bio diesel.
