I know most gasoline posts here are on the subject of octane rating - 93,

Dear Experts,
I have a 97 Camry XLE that I bought in 2000.
Unbeknownced to me (and the I believe also the dealer),
the car had been in an accident.

2006 LX-470.  Check engine light as well as the VSC lights have come on.
Tried to read the code with a friends scanner, but it only gives an ERR
message.  I thought all OBDC II cars were supposed to be able to be read??
Is this something only a dealer can get?

I own a GS 300, bought new in 1999, and it is without any doubt the best
vehicle I  have ever had.I intend to keep it for many years to come. I live
in Belgium, a country where high displacement engines are heavily taxed , to

solid front and back drums. has anyone experienced this as well.  Where are
the 8 speakers on that car I can only count 6.

Started into SD. Had a full tank of premium from Mn - pure gas. Got to
Mitchell and pulled off to see the unbelievable Corn Palace. It was
unbelievable. Ate buffalo burger and drank Sasaparilla. Tried to fill
up the car with gas. No gas except gasahol. Recalled the boys in the

when it's below 65 degrees, my clock, temperature, and heater are dark and
don't work for about ten minutes.  Then, they all illuminate and start
functioning.  Any ideas out there?  I hope someone has had this problem
and knows what it takes to correct it.

This is just a curiosity question.
I've always wondered why some cars require high octane gasoline and
others do not.  I have a 350GS and always use the highest octane as
required, but the one time I goofed and did not, the engine did not

My '04 GS430, evey once in a while, when I close my drivers window, it
will close and then open half way. I close it again, and once again,
all the way closed then half way open. This will happen three or four
times, then it works normally.
