Fuel Grade

87 Octane is Standard:

• Toyota recommends using regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 for most RAV4 models. 
• No Benefit from Higher Octane:
• Using higher octane fuel (like 89 or 91 octane) in a RAV4 designed for 87 octane will not provide any performance or fuel economy benefits and can potentially be a waste of money. 

Ethanol Content:

• Ensure that the gasoline you use contains no more than 15% ethanol 
• Avoid Gasoline with MMT:
• Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline that contains MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl)
  

Do Not Use:

• Diesel fuel
• Fuel with more than 15% ethanol (e.g., E85)
• Fuels containing methanol or metallic-based additives
  
• Leaded fuel (prohibited by law)

General Capacity:

• For most recent RAV4 models, the fuel tank holds around 14.5 gallons. 

Roadside Emergency: Spare Tire & Tools

Access:

• You'll need to open the cargo area floor and lift it to reveal the spare tire, jack, and tools.

Spare Tire:

• The spare tire is typically a compact, temporary use spare, identified by the label "TEMPORARY USE ONLY" on the tire sidewall.

Tools:

• The jack and tire tools are usually stored in a separate compartment or wrapped in a bag.

Securing the Spare:

• The spare tire is often secured with a fastener or a screw, which you'll need to loosen to access it.
