How about a math class now...

Lets see, .25 cents a mile, times 15 gallons a tank thats $3.75, times 3 fillups a week thats $11.25, 52 weeks a year thats $585.00 a year in savings. I have owned this car 5 years, lets see $2925.00 To save a couple of sensors???
You can buy all the premium you want, I'll stick with regular. I see no performance issues with my RX.-

By the way,.... I STILL LOVE MY RX!!!!

"You can buy all the premium you want" I will. And when I leave you in the dust at a stop light,dont wonder why. BTW three fill ups a week? Thats more than the norm.rite their. Plus,your not taking into consideration the extra 1-1.5 mpg more you get on the premium.so,the extra mpg`s you get on the premium fuel,shoots down your theory rite their.Maybe you should buy a Chevy next time Barry,They don`t recommend Premium fuel in their Owner`s manual.

Let me ask you something Jim,Why did you buy a Lexus,if your going to throw crappy fuel in it? Thats like buying a 750,000 home,and decorating it from K-Mart.But,as they say,to each their own.

I am not a fashion guy. There is nothing wrong with KMart and I do not have a 750k house. 100+kmiles ago, I did try all kinds of fuels, VPower or regular fuel. All drive the same, nice, quite and smooth. No noticable gas milage change. Maybe just because I do not race it.

More than likely A/F sensor.the post cat.02 sensor rarely fails.Though with the millage you have their,it is possible.

2002 AWD here. 130k miles. Original owner. Just replaced the IACV. Thats it! GREAT CAR!

But I'm big on maintenance. I change the oil every 3k with semi synthetic.

Default 80,000 on a 2007 RX 350

How many more miles do you think I can get out of a 2007 RX350 with 80,000? I'm hearing several people say more than 200,000. Yet, some opinions are much less. I'm struggling with some decision making. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
