No a thing. After I learned that Costco gas is top tier a few years ago I told my wife about it. So we use Costco whenever possible instead of Sam's Club from before.
One thing we noticed is whenever we use Philips 66 gas, we get 2 to mpg better. Same 91 premium type.

On my 2013 LX570, it too only engages when with cruise SET and the radar is ON. Very useful on long highway cruises. I find it very good and relaxing as it will adjust speed on its own and I just change lanes when needed.
However, it will not bring the LX570 to a full stop. It will brake and slow it down. In emergency auto braking it will brake hard and beeps, but not to a complete stop based on own testing. IDK, maybe I am just not brave enough to leave my foot completely off the brake?

Am I missing something here? From what I know, the LX Pre-collision warning is only activated when it is cruising. I have only used it once when I drove the SUV from San diego to Sacramento and I have noticed it indeed stopped itself. A trailer was in front me while I exited to a rest stop at speed maybe around 30mph, I intentionally did not brake it to see what it would do and LX stopped itself.

I too do not have the guts to aim my LX into a hard object, but I have surely heard to beep many times when I anticipated the vehicle in front of me completing their turn before I rear end them.

Yes you can have both. As for the 200-series, and all of Toyota's BOF vehicles, they are using older technology from the 05-07 era. Nothing wrong with that as long as people understand it. Toyota BOF trucks and SUVs have never excelled at MPG.

The premium around here (including at the Costco where I have not decided whether to fill up at or not) is 93 octane. But, everything is E10, there is practically no ethanol free gas around here... and you are correct, the ethanol sucks.

I'm not worried about the rubber in our cars fuel lines, but for a slight mileage increase and having to buy only one grade of gas (I can fill the LC or LX and two 5 gallon cans with the same pump) we've standardized on non-eth locally and ethanol if we can't find non-eth away from home.

If some in our government have their way they would go to 15% or even higher on ethanol. I wish they would get rid of it. Even the EPA said the damage to the ecology out weighed the benefits, but someone told them the shut up.
