Question Gas?

Just got my new ride this week. Manual says 87+ for gas? The thought of not having to pony up for 91 octane sounds nice, but will the lower grade affect anything? Also, wondering if E Free gas would be the best option. Any thoughts? I want this car to last a looong time!

Just use regular ... I'm not a huge fan of E gas .. but it's hard to avoid. no benefit to more Octane unless the car can use it

The other Lexus vehicles I have owned required premium, it was a pleasant surprise to find out the CT didn’t require premium! That’s a win-win!!

I use Costco and I'm a snob. CT is just a Prius. in fact you'd do harm to your wallet and possibly your car w/ premium.
