That's what I use for all my cars, never had an issue.
Al thought my '67 Cadillac & '02 Miata prefer the mid grade.

Ohhhh man, I haven't seen a racetrack gas station since I visited relatives back home in the south earlier this year.
When I lived back there about 10 years ago, Racetrack gasoline was the cheapest. It was ok for 4 bangers but would make a large V8 tap and ting like a rack of kitchen utensils during a violent earthquake.
Just my experience!

Racetrac Gasoline
We have a few Racetrac (no "k" at the end) stations in the Richmond area. They're usually the cheapest guy in town - unless you can catch a Wawa and a Sheetz within half a mile of each other.
I have never used Racetrac gasoline in my 4Runner, but I have used it (on rare occasion) in vehicles including a Nissan Sentra, Ford Ranger, Ford Mustang GT, Olds Ninety-Eight and even a Volvo 240 wagon. Never had a problem running it in any of those cars. Now, perhaps I might have experienced something else had I used it consistently.....but I did not.
Their lowest octane was 87 at Racetrac - much the same as what is now called 'regular' just about everywhere. I have heard people mention 86 octane fuel, but have yet to see it anywhere in this state (VA).
