leot Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 as of today have 1124 miles on my new GX. gas milage is 11 in town and 16 when motoring. Gas is expected to get near $3.00 a gallon (premium) this summer. I'm glad; it will keep the rifraff off the road. I hope it goes t0 $5.00 a gallon.

No offense (although I'm not real concerned about offending you because your comment was so offensive) but thats a pretty ignorant statement. High gas prices are bad for all of us, bad for industry, bad for tourism, bad for travel related businesses, bad for the economy. Just because you can afford the gas doesn't mean you shouldn't care. Keep that attitude off the LOC please, you're not better than anyone else here.

SW03ES Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Trying to say something? I'm glad the quoting function is so difficult, it keeps the riffraff off our board.
denslexusgx470 Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 getting back to topic, my Gx gives me the standard gas mpg (as stated on the sticker) and am not happy with the current gas prices here in ca! <_< :chairshot:

The owners manual states use 87 but says 91 will give higher performance. I have the 2005 GX. Does anyone have experience or knowledge of this topic?
lonewolf69 Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 If I'm not mistaken, I believe you'll need to use 91 OCTANE to achieve the ULEVII emissions standards listed in the specifications. If you use any lower OCTANE the vehicle with not be ULEVII compliant. I'm sorry, I can't remember where I've read this... Someone please correct me if I'm wrong? PS. Whether or not the OCTANE level is a factor for gas miledge is beyond me as my GX is back ordered until the end of March.... :)
dchan865 Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Same here, I also use 87. Truck runs fine with no knock or ping.
SW03ES Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 No the type of gas shouldn't effect the emissions rating...

SW03ES Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Thats what the smilies are for, to let people know that you're kidding.
honestjack Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 i only use 87 ← I called the dealer and asked their opinion about 87 octane or 91 octane. They stated that the 87 should run OK but their will be a sacrifice in performance and fuel economy. They recommended the 91 octane all the time.

strindl Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 i use only 93 octane ← Why 93? There may be some small benefit in going from 87 to 91, but there would be none in going from 91 to 93. Most premium gas around here is 91 octane, with a few being 92. The places that sell 93 octane are few and far between.
