I have been playing with the Techstream program. Basically, for my 2013 Avalon at least, there are 5 registers in the ECU that can be assigned a...
Right now my main complaint is TPMS sensors. On all my cars I always get an extra set of snow tires on their own rims. It's just so handy to be...
Each place is different. Here it seems that when prices change diesel changes up first or down last. When that happens it is more expensive for a...
Well, I'm just testing it to see if it will work here at my altitude, because that's what they sell here as regular. We don't have E15 fuel yet,...
It's too early to tell if this was just a fluke, but on my first tank of 85 octane I got 48.0 mpg instead of the usual 42.5. It was also 30 cents...
So far I've noticed a few differences between the old diesel and the Avalon. In the Avalon hybrid I'm paying over $200 in fuel per month even...
Yes. Very good observations. I will try some 85 and report back on how it affected fuel mileage. I'm also supposed to get my Techstream kit soon,...
Sorry to derail the thread from annoying diesels to annoying octane numbers. But I found an interesting article on octane, apparently from back...
Thanks! That is very informative. I just went up on I-70 from Denver and then through Alma last week. I guess I'll go ahead and try out some 85...
Yes, the danger is lower. but I wouldn't say it's gone. There are several things that cause knock (well, that cause more heat which causes more...
It's 87 R+M/2 (91 RON). I don't know what they sell in other states, but here most (if not all) gasoline stations sell regular as 85, midgrade as...
Well, there's that part in there that if you use a lower octane you can end up damaging the engine. I suppose some people would take it as a...
I ended up getting an Avalon Hybrid. It doesn't get the fuel mileage the VW did. And I can't say I'm saving in price-per-gallon because the Avalon...
Well, I did have to travel some 1,500 miles to the Toyota dealer to get my Avalon. So I'm not sure if I'm going back there anytime soon. :D...
I've noticed a little bit of delamination of that "chrome" stuff. But on the other hand, I find that stuff to be too shiny. This is really the...
I rotated my own tires and didn't get a warning. Maybe because I have an XLE instead of a higher end moddle I may not have a low pressure warning???
I may be way off, but from what I've heard, that button is for after you put air in a low tire. It resets the light.
Speaking of cheap, I may be able to pick up a set of used rims for $80! I also just found out about perhaps getting an older Techstream for...
Today, for the first time for me and all by myself, almost 5,000 miles and a little over one month after I bought my Avalon: I changed the oil...
In a perfect world regen braking would be 100% efficient. In reality it isn't. Some heat still gets produced as a byproduct of the process. So the...
