    My 2008 FJ Cruiser had a Premium Gas Only Sticker on the gas tank door. My 2013 did not. Not sure why or what was the difference.

    Yeah, but what does it mean “when tuned for 91 octane” ?
    What is this tuning ?

    Aint got the time or the patients to wait in line 30 minutes for Costco gas.

    I'll pay the extra nickel/gallon and go somewhere else.

    30 minutes? I have never had to wait longer than 2 minutes, and the wife says the same for her. They get busy at times, but the flow is very good. Sorry yours is not the same.
