accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.
If premium gasoline is not available

If this premium type cannot be obtained, you can use unleaded gasoline with a
Research Octane Number as low as 91.
The use of such gasoline may cause the engine to knock or drastically reduce out-

premium unleaded gasoline as soon as possible.
If your engine knocks

Consult any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
