Congrats on the Lexus ownership. We only get 91 at most stations here in CA so that's what I put in.

if u have 93 available than put 93, the best gas always. we have 93 here so thats all it gets, 4 the buck or 2 gonna save its not worth it, just put the best so less chance of anything and yes it wil run better than cheaper gas...also try 2 go a a name brand station. i heard many sories about the non name brand places..i go 2 mobile...
