the 330 was intended to run on 87 octane,and perform well using it,dont get suckered in to paying more for gas thinking your gonna get a mile or two out of it,cause you wont get anything,,,keeping it tuned well will be your best choice,as for gas,,in some cases I have heard my buyer,s say they get better mileage on 87 octane,,but ever one has an opinion,as far as my experience,i use 87,,and get good result,s with it,,so do my buyer,s,hope this help,s some.

Lexus recommends premium fuel for all of it vehicles for best performance. but, you may be able to run mid grade 89 . But 91 and 93 are the best for this car.

I recommend you call a Lexus dealership and speak with someone in the service department on this subject. be sure you get your straight answers from a Lexus Certified Mechanic.

You may also call the Lexus buyer Support Number at one 25 Lexus.

Use the premium gas because your car will run much cleaner. I have an IS 250, use premium and get 24 25 city mpg.
