What is the Difference Between Premium and Regular Gas?

The main difference between premium and regular gas is the octane levels and how they affect your vehicle’s engine. The standard octane level for most vehicles is 87 while premium gas is rated at 91 or 93.

What Happens If I Put Premium Gas in My Lexus RX 350?

While your Lexus RX uses regular (unleaded) gas with an octane rating of 87, your Lexus SUV can take premium fuel with an octane rating of 91. The use of premium gas may enhance your vehicle’s performance, but the choice to use standard or premium gas is entirely up to you.

Any gasoline used in the RX shouldn’t be higher than 15% of ethanol. If gasoline has more than 15% ethanol or ā€˜flex-fuel’, it should not be used in your luxury Lexus SUV.
