I've got 7.4 for the 2011 awd using 91 octane per below.

In the end, it won't really matter because in another 3 seconds or so, you're at top speed (112) but to me, the difference in power is noticeable.

I will find out tomorrow if I like the 450h over the 350. I drove the 350 last week and loved it, my appointent for the hybrid is tomorrow morning. Can't wait!
Honestly people, sheer acceleration is not why we are getting this car. It's nice, but definitely not what my wife needs at 62 years old. If it goes as good as the 350, I will be happy. I am really looking forward to feeling the linear sensation of no gears shifting. I'm just hoping it doesn't have a very noticable jump from electric to gas engine. I drove hybrids around the shop I worked at that would startle you when they went from electric to gas. Never drove one on the road though. We'll see tomorrow.

The RX450h is slightly slower to 60 IMO. Reason being that it takes longer to set off. If its rolling though, the in gear acceleration is pretty impressive! It shoves you in your seat, no word of a lie.

I have also noticed this on the reg (non-hybrid) RX.

We have had our RX F-Sport for a week, and it seems to me like the initial throttle "tip in" is a little slow before it gets moving..

Could also be that since I don't drive it everyday (my wife does), and it's only a week that we've had it I still have to get used to it.

Received a phone call from Lexus last week confirming that the Appearance Package is not an availible option on the AWD RX.....kinda bummed.

I wonder if that's to push the F-Sport. A positive would be that owners have stated the ride is smoother and tires are less pricy.
