I was going to buy a Lexus RX 350
maybe a 2013-2015 models
but is it worth getting the hybrid and are they just as reliable?

So I want to buy a Lexus RX 350. The 2012 model year was tuned to run on 87 octane gas. The cost difference between 87 octane and 93 is at least $5,000 over 300,000 miles. Which I run high miles on my vehicles. About to break 300K on my 01 jeep xj.
So I was gonna get a 2012 because it can handle a different octane. But I don't like the color choice in 2012.
So I called a TECH at the dealer.
The Tech guy in the dealer service center said all models should use 93 octane except once in a while its ok to use 87 if nothing else is available. I said but 2012 was tuned to run on 87 octane, he said no it wasn't and to use 93 octane.
All kinds of web information says the 2012 was re-tuned to run 87 octane.
I want to run 87 octane for 300,000 miles.
Will this hurt anything and can I run 87 octane in other years as well. Once this is figured out I'm ready to buy one.
Need your thoughts.
Should I get a cover for my dash, it gets really hot, will it crack at some point?

2014 Rx 350
My Lexus Is mainly used during the months of Nov to May and then I drive a Z4 during the summer. But the dash gets really hot sitting on the driveway. I’m worried it’s going to crack over time. I put a towel over it now to reduce the heat and sun exposure.
Should I buy a custom dash cover for the summer?
Any thoughts ????????
Thanks
