Gas
#46
Current gas price in my area.
Regular (87) = 2.55/gallon
Premium (93) = 2.95/gallon
Using premium
I fill my tank every month (2.95 x 17.4gal = 51.33/month ) x12 = $615.96 / year x 10 years = 6,159.60
Using regular (2.55 x 17.4 = 44.37/month) x 12 =532.44 / year x 10 years = 5324.40
Difference of $83.52 a YEAR!
and
835.20 in 10 years
Difference is not even enough to buy tires for 10 years
C'MON MAN!

which turns out to be paying 34.80 extra per month (or 6.96 per fill up) for the additional ponies and sense of security.
I still put Premium because I fear that something happen to my engine or it will be less refined as it gets older. I want to put regular but i have not seen any long term reviews on this because people keep putting other people down about this "its a luxury car you....."

At least, out of the people who actually get on the forums. Used cars are scary, huh?

Weird as the Lexus IS is considered a luxury car...you'd think most wouldn't quibble about a few bucks here and there. Honestly, $800 in 10 years is a pittance.

Would the IS200t respond better to a higher recommended octane? With or without a tune. . .
