SW03ES Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hey all, Not to start another debate between premium and regular fuel use, but we all know in the Least Lexus has always SAID that premium must be used in all their models. Well the only change for the car in 2011 is that the manual will now read that regular fuel is required and the HP & torque ratings will be lowered slightly (from 272hp to 268hp). I suppose its because of the competition now mainly being cars that only require regular, like the Genesis, LaCrosse & MKZ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When will the 2011 be in the showrooms and will the body style still be the same as the current ES line? Thanks Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 According to the article I read the 2011 will be exactly the same as the 2010 other than the classification for regular fuel...The car will likely be all new for 2012. Usually the new model comes out in September... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChBr02 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 My 2001 ES300 supposedly uses regular gas. Never had a problem with it until the 10% Ethanol craze. Ping city. Now, I have to use premium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
