Lexus RX350...What octane gas is required?

All Lexi use premium gas

I have a 2004. It’s a fantastic vehicle. I put 93 octane in it.


I don’t like the body style as much on the newer ones, but the interior is more roomy.

I had a 2012 and used 93.
Now have 2015 and use 87. No problem.

Don’t have this model, but a different Lexus.
I only use regular.
It’s 7 years old, but has very low miles (<60k). I’ve never had any issues.
2015 GS300. I love my car.

87 Octane for the last 10 years or so. This is accurate.

Screw that I have a 21 with 39k on it it’s never sniffed premium gas. I use regular gas and Lexus mechanic said that was fine, but I mix in mid grade as a special thread once in a while.

Now my wife’s mercedes has to have mid grade or better or it knocks

Here's a hint though, I've never seen a Lexus that recommends regular unleaded.

Not a good hint for the OP...

Yeah I remember the salesman saying it didn’t require premium fuel like a lot of its competitors. It’s one of the best cars I have ever owned and probably the most reliable car they make. Plus even 2 years old it’s still worth over 80 percent of what i paid for it. Just buy it

You’re driving around a sled like that, you should be able to afford what goes into it

What is the logical reason behind this? BTW there is none. If the engine does not have the compression ratio and/or timing advance to need fuel more resistant to detention it is simply throwing money away.
