Can the current Toyota Camry use E10 RON94 fuel?
Asked by Michael
I believe that the current Toyota Camry petrol engine requires 95 octane or higher, and cannot use E10 RON94. If so, this is a shame because people may not realise this when they buy one that they have to pay a premium up to 20 cents per litre extra when they refuel. This dries up any benefits from otherwise good economy from the hybrid or petrol-only engines.
Reviewers seldom make this comment. Therefore this vehicle, and others that use this engine, are now off my shopping list. Can you double check with Toyota if this is true, and any plans to rectify this problem?

24 Nov 2022You’re right, Michael. Toyota Australia tells me that the current model Camry is Euro 6 certified (for emissions). Because 91 RON fuel won't support Toyota's Euro 6 technology, 95 RON is recommended. Since most readily available E10 fuel is rated at 94RON, Toyota doesn't recommend that for the Camry, either.
However, even with the extra cost of the 95RON fuel, the Camry Hybrid's official combined fuel consumption number of 4.2 litres per 100km suggests it would still be cheaper to run than many other cars using 91RON.
