I have no problem using premium ..... what I don't understand is how the ES350 is rated for regular and the GS isn't. Same engine, right? Is it just the 8 speed vs 6 speed.

Pardon me for not understanding - what is "direct injection" in the GS vs the ES? How would this affect fuel type? I m not a mechanic, so I am just trying to learn. Thanks so much.

The most I saved using the lowest grade (regular) gas compared to the premium was $5. If u can afford a car like a GS, you can afford $5 extra for premium gas.

I think numerous people, not all, on this GS forum have bought a vehicle that has probably maxed out their budget and are now worried about the cost of fuel, maintenance, etc. They should have purchased or leased something more affordable that they wouldn't have to question things like $3-$5 per tank gas savings.....

I have always used premium fuel as that's what Lexus recommends.
