Good day all.

I will be taken delivery of my GS430 next week and I would like to hear opinions about the best brand (i.e. Shell, Exxon, etc.) of premium to burn.

By the way I reside on the East cost and will travel as north as Toronto, Canada and as far south as Orlando, FL.

The cheapest. I spoke with a gasoline carrier (friend) and he told me all brands hook from the same place. As he told me later, the only one that added a little bottle of additive to a truck was Gulf. Here was a tendency to blend Premium and regular with Premium prices.
Also I had never noticed any difference in performance adding one or another

I go with BP since they're along I-90 and they've got a station right around the corner of my apartment.

Default BP Amaco

I use BP Amaco, exclusiveley..

And know I don't own one.

I believe the standards the co. takes in holding petroleum is consistent

Always use 93, I believe a Lex is tested by factory at 96.

If it a few cents more , in some places that 93 is few dollars difference.

i like shell and chevron
those are the 2 best choices locally for me
but pretty much any Top Tier certified gas would be fine for our lexus as long as the octane is high enuf and the station you go to has a clean reservoir
