#9 of 12 Re: Too Low [townhome] by maximafan May 26, 2008 (8:46 am)
Replying to: townhome (Jul 25, 2007 6:22 pm) I've had my Lexus RX350 for almost two years and have been putting regular unleaded in it almost from the getgo. I've had no problems at all!!

Replying to: mkxawd (Sep 09, 2007 4:34 pm) Once again, this is incorrect information. I'm not sure about the Murano, but you do not have to put premium unleaded in the RX.
#11 of 12 Premium gas. by mschmal Jul 29, 2008 (10:02 am)
According to the EPA, the Lexus RX-350 and the 2009 Nissan Murano require premium fuel. This means that the EPA tested these vehicles with Premium Fuel and the fuel economy figures on the window sticker are based on using premium fuel.   www.fueleconomy.gov.   Not using Premium fuel lowers your fuel economy. Most people find that the savings they get from buying regular instead of Premium is not enough to make up for the loss of fuel economy. Premium Fuel or Regular Fuel, the costs ends up the same per 100 miles driven.   NOW if you have an MKX this car is not programed to get better fuel economy out of Premium so its just throwing money away to put premium gas in it.   Mark.
#12 of 12 Bad mpg by stunts1 Jul 12, 2009 (10:08 am)
I have only had my new 2009 MKX AWD for 4 1/2 days. So far I have just driven it locally. I have done ALOT of sitting in the driveway with the engine and a/c on playing with the nav,sat radio, travel link and everything else. That's probably why I'm only getting 9.4 mpg (according to the display on the dash). I sure hope the mpg gets better as I stop playing with the system.
