All pump gas is unleaded, i believe you meant, regular, i which case it is perfectly fine, this has been discuessed before on here
The one or two times i had to fill up with regular (87 octane) i didnt notice any performance loss, but my MPG dropped from 23 to about 18.5 or so

My parents put 89 octane (mid grade) on our 2000 GS300 and the check engine light came on and the car started bogging. The vsc light came on as well.
I checked the codes and it said misfire on 3 cylinders.
I put in an octane booster and put in 93 (premium) and it never came back on.

Yeah some gas stations only sell regular due to the hurricane. I had to drive around to a few different ones to find one that would sell premium. I got tired of searching today so I just filled up with E85 for $3.10/gal today. Seems like most people don't bother with this corn fuel so it's usually available. I had a little TOO much fun on corn fuel due to it being 106octane straight from the pump. 30psi + going sideways 1st & 2nd + spinning 295wide tires thru 3rd gear = fun!

Lexus Cars Should Not Run On 87 Unleaded Gas, Ive Done It Before Because I Had No Choice, And Right After That I Used An Injector Cleaner, But The Next Fill Up I Used 93. I Work For Lexus And I See Cars In The Shop All The Time With Fuel Problems Due To The Use Of Cheap Gas. Plus The Gas Mileage Sucks Bad When On 87.
