I recently bought a 1997 Camry LE 4cylinder. With gas prices so high, I have been using the lowest octane gas available in Denver CO (high altitude) which is a 85 octane without any obvious problems. I think I am suppose to use the midgrade gas of 87 octane. Anyone have an opinion or experience with using the lower octane gas on their toyota engine?
Higher altitudes have always required lower octane fuel in naturally aspirated engines. Drive on!

Been in Denver and higher elevations since 1996 running 85 octane on a Camry, Integra.....Camry has 300K; Integra had 130K when traded..no problems at all.

If it doesnt run well on low octane you need a tune up, Low is all you need.
