Can you take a picture and link it?

Or maybe Google a picture similar to what you are describing and link it here? I want to make sure I am understanding what you are saying. 

From what I gather, E20-E85 with a circle around and a slash, means DO NOT USE ethanol based fuels from 20% ethanol to 85% ethanol. 

E15 means you can use fuels up to 15% ethanol. 

Consult your manual on the octane level. 91 Premium will work for sure. But you don’t want to use Premium if your car can use 87 Regular. Waste of money. 


Can’t find a way to post the pic i have A 2018 Toyota Corolla le

Seems like regular gas will be fine. Regular gas may (not always) usually have about 10% ethanol.

Just don’t use E20-E85 ethanol based fuels, and you’ll be fine.


It says up to e15 instead of e10 on my cap


I’m not sure what you mean sorry i usually use the e85 when i pump My gas’s the cheapest one


Do you mean 85 octane? E85 and 85 octane are different.


It 85 87 and like 91 i belIve what one do i use I didnt Really understand what you we’re saying


If you are at the gas pump, the Numbers 85, 87, and 91 refer to the octane rating for petrol/gasoline fuel. You can use any of these, but the cheapest 85 octane should be fine.

E15, E20…E85 refer to Ethanol based fuels. Don’t use these. If it has an E before it, don’t use it.


Oh okay where would you find ethanol fuels so i can Stay away from them


TBH, I hardly ever see them around. At least in my neck of the woods. I’ve only run into a handful of stations that carry ethanol based fuels, and I’ve been to hundreds if not thousands of gas stations.


So when it says like 85 89 and 91 i can Use them i just Can’t use them if they have a e in the front of them


Yup!


Thank you so much i was Scared that i might Be putting the wrong gas’s in my car if i put The 89 in will that offer any benefits?


Not much benefit. I usually say to use what is recommended by the manufacturer. And yours is regular.

Some cars do require higher fuel octane ratings. Yours does not.
