-With The difference in price of cheap gas, and "Premium crap" I have saved well beyond the price of these sensors!

How about a math class now...

Lets see, .25 cents a mile, times 15 gallons a tank thats $3.75, times 3 fillups a week thats $11.25, 52 weeks a year thats $585.00 a year in savings. I have owned this car 5 years, lets see $2925.00 To save a couple of sensors???
You can buy all the premium you want, I'll stick with regular. I see no performance issues with my RX.-

By the way,.... I STILL LOVE MY RX!!!!

"You can buy all the premium you want" I will. And when I leave you in the dust at a stop light,dont wonder why. BTW three fill ups a week? Thats more than the norm.rite their. Plus,your not taking into consideration the extra 1-1.5 mpg more you get on the premium.so,the extra mpg`s you get on the premium fuel,shoots down your theory rite their.Maybe you should buy a Chevy next time Barry,They don`t recommend Premium fuel in their Owner`s manual.

Let me ask you something Jim,Why did you buy a Lexus,if your going to throw crappy fuel in it? Thats like buying a 750,000 home,and decorating it from K-Mart.But,as they say,to each their own.

I am not a fashion guy. There is nothing wrong with KMart and I do not have a 750k house. 100+kmiles ago, I did try all kinds of fuels, VPower or regular fuel. All drive the same, nice, quite and smooth. No noticable gas milage change. Maybe just because I do not race it.

2002 AWD here. 130k miles. Original owner. Just replaced the IACV. Thats it! GREAT CAR!

But I'm big on maintenance. I change the oil every 3k with semi synthetic.

Default 80,000 on a 2007 RX 350

How many more miles do you think I can get out of a 2007 RX350 with 80,000? I'm hearing several people say more than 200,000. Yet, some opinions are much less. I'm struggling with some decision making. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
