That's pretty much the conclusion that most came to. Near me 93 octane is 17% more expensive than regular. 21.5mpg is only 7.5% better than 20mpg so it's definitely not a cost savings.
I tried premium in my 2013 Pre-Runner 4-cylinder to see if it got more power (was getting tired going up grades...
There's a thread over at Tacomaworld on this.

One comment is that 93 octane gets them 1.5mpg more.
I'm guessing you mean ones under the rear axle and under the frame to the rear of the front wheels. There are also 2 high lift jacking points under the back bumper though I'm not sure if they are on all models.
For the front, I'm hoping I can find some recovery points that could double as high...
This is going to annoy the bejeesus out of me when I get mine (end of July). The gas gauge on my 2013 is spot on. If I fill up when it says quarter tank, it takes ~16 gallons. It's going to take a lot of retraining for me to let it go down to the "low fuel" warning before filling up. I wonder if...
Some people claim that there is as much as 4 gallons of fuel left, but I'd beg a gallon from someone before I headed out. Let us know how many gallons it takes to fill up afterwards.
Then you'd get a fault light because it doesn't "open". It would be nice to have a procedure to force the shutters to open (without damaging them) by the side of the road, so you aren't left stranded.
I'm sure I would have. Probably going to leave mine off or in auto mode. The idea of having the computer do that for you seems a little strange to me to begin with. Of course, the last time I went 4-wheeling was in 1990. I hope I can learn to drive over ruts again.
Except there is no "ice" mode in 4L. There are "Auto", "Sand", "Mud", and "Rock" modes. They were on a road with rocks so it's not surprising that they used "Rock" mode.
Does it smell like hot brakes? Traction control works by applying the brakes to the wheel that is slipping in order to transfer power to the other wheel on the same axle.
Looks like 235/85R17 is only found in temporary spares. Tirerack has a goodyear one for $471 (gasp)
255/80/17 is close (10"w 33.1" d). Can find all-terrain versions. Looks like only in LT.
