#296 of 298 GS450h in Europe by idele Oct 19, 2007 (12:24 pm)
This is quoted from a blurb on the 2008 GS in Europe. In contrast to the USA the GS450h is quite sucessful. "With global sales exceeding 100.000 units to date, the success of the GS has been further bolstered by the launch of the GS 450h, which introduced the company's Lexus Hybrid Drive technology to the model range in 2006. Reinforcing the significance Lexus customers place on hybrid drive technology, the GS 450h occupies an increasingly prominent position, currently representing over 40% of European GS sales. GS 450h"
#297 of 298 How much does octane matter? by bmwconvert May 20, 2008 (9:13 am)
In light of $4+ gas and the $0.35/gallon extra for premium fuel, I've given the other fuel grades a try and haven't noticed a bit of difference in my 450h. I forget what the car calls for -- 91 octane maybe? I've always filled up with premium, which in my area is 93 octane. Plus/middle grade is 89 and regular is 87, presumably everywhere. I tried a couple of tanks of plus -- no difference. My last fill up (I always run the car down near empty) was regular, and again, no difference.   Am I hurting the engine in any way, short-term or long-term? I believe I've read in the past that lower octane may give poorer performance and may impact fuel economy, but I haven't seen it. I'm certainly not going to risk damaging my engine to say $4-$5 per tank, but I haven't seen anything to say that this will occur. Replies to this message: hulhubber (Aug 02, 2008 6:17 am)
