The 2005 Toyota Avalon is designed to run on regular 87-octane fuel, but its specifications and fuel efficiency ratings are based on 91 octane. Under normal circumstances, there is no advantage to using a higher octane gasoline than what is recommended in your owner's manual. It will not improve your car's performance, speed, mileage, or cleanliness. How you drive can greatly impact your fuel efficiency. Aggressive acceleration leads to higher fuel consumption, while unnecessary braking wastes the energy used to accelerate. Driving smoothly and anticipating traffic flow are key factors in maximizing fuel efficiency. Once you reach your desired speed, maintaining a consistent pace is ideal. Smooth driving habits, including gentle acceleration, turning, and braking, also help prolong the lifespan of your engine, transmission, brakes, and tires.
Toyota suggests using at least 87 octane Regular unleaded gas in the 2005 Toyota Avalon, but they also allow the use of 91, 93, and 96 octane gasoline.
