Default Fuel Pressure Regulator

In the Lexus Factory Service manuel, it states fuel pressure regulator is the number 1 cause for bad gas mileage in a 1991 LS400.

Obserb Truck Drivers (well the good drivers) approaching traffic lights, most of them will just be slowly crawling up behind you in the rear vison mirror.

With these cars having an a torque convertor some people dont realize they can in most situations lift there foot of the pedal more and still hold speed.

Also in regard to the K&N air filter. I wouldnt buy one, the design is far poorer then the toyota design, the toyota filter has far much more filtre area. Only advange the K&N may have is the fact it may be washed (but the oil used in these filters has been known to make the MAF sensor play up anyway)

the oil has only been an issue with people who over oiled the filter and didnt let it dry properly iirc..

but flow in any wet filter is mostly either poorer than dry or not as clean as dry filters.
