If Lexus believes that strongly about it I'm not about to second guess them to save $4 on a fill-up...but I'm thinking it might be a good idea to toss in a can of octane booster in the trunk, in case I'm ever faced with a fuel up from some service station that doesn't actually have premium -
What does fuel have to do with this thread on oil ???????

Good point, I think somebody happened to mention their fuel during one of the comments. My bad, if I spoke out of turn I can just delete.
