Thanks @SteveH . What we have here is just the regular gas w/ 10% ethanol. Will continue to use it for now...Here in the United States, you can sometimes find 15% ethenol gas (also called E-85 gas)
This isn't quite correct - E-85 contains 85% ethanol and can only be used in modern, 'flex-fuel' vehicles that are labeled as such. Never appropriate for a stock FJ40.
You can sometimes buy E-15 fuel that contains 15% ethanol, but in my view, that's 50% worse than regular Ethanol gas that is typically 10% or less. The chain of convenience stores called 'Kum and Go' sell E-15, and it would be easy to use this if you were just seeking the 'cheapest gas' they sold. Beware. Farm states (Iowa) are extra big on Ethanol, so pay more attention for crap gas (there, I said it) in states big on corn farming.
