What Kind of Gas Does a 2021 Toyota Tacoma Take?
I just bought a new 2021 Toyota Tacoma and want to make sure I’m using the best fuel to prolong its lifespan. What kind of gas should I be refueling a 2021 Toyota Tacoma with?

The type of gas a 2021
Toyota Tacoma
, Toyota
takes is regular unleaded gasoline with an octane number of 87 or higher. If you use gasoline with a lower octane number, you might end up damaging your engine in the future. However, you should be avoiding the following:
- Gasoline with MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl): Know to cause emission issues in Toyotas, you should avoid this type of gas when filling up your tank.
- Gasoline without detergents: Detergents in gasoline clean and maintain your vehicle’s fuel and engine system. Without it, your fuel system gains build-up over years, which can be harmful. Try to fill up at top-tier gas stations and avoid retailers like BP, Amoco, Walmart, or 7-Eleven, who often don’t include detergent in their fuel.
