Yes, fuel quality can impact engine performance and mileage.

Regular vs. Premium Fuel:
Most Hilux engines do not require premium fuel. Using premium fuel in a regular engine does not improve mileage.
However, premium fuel may help if the engine has carbon buildup o r knocking issues.

Best Practices:
Use fuel from reputable stations to avoid contaminated o r low-quality fuel.
Avoid fuels with excessive ethanol content, as they reduce mileage.
