I have been using 87 octane in my 2001 Rx300 since new, it doesn't know any better.

I don't have the exact tank capacity at hand, but it's around 18-19 gallons.

The milage varies, depending on whether you have a 2WD or 4WD version of the RX300. Going by the MPG readout on the dash, I get 20 mpg everyday and up to 28-29 or so on the highway w/o air conditioning. Maybe 1 mpg less w/ AC. Others report getting less, so maybe my on-dash readout has some error in it.

The owner's manual calls for 87 octane. Some other models from the same year (e.g., ES300) call for high octane, so that's a real plus.

Benvenuto a ClubLexus. Saremmo felici di aiutarli.

He says, I write to you from Italy, W the RX300.

I recognized it enough with my Spanish, but had to do a little translating the other way.
