I have the 2008 lexus gs350 with 160k miles on it. I bought it 1000 miles back and never used any grade other than premium(93 costco). My mpg used to be 23 on highway and 18 in city.
Today, when i was driving i found the fuel is low and went to the nearest gas station and found there is no 91 and 93 octane. So, i filled up the tank with the 89 grade. Surprisingly, the mpg on highway is now 30.9. How in the world did this happen?
Someone explain!

Driving like a granny? jejeje
joking aside,,, don't waste ur $$ on expensive gas. Get the cheap stuff, it's fine.
MPG's are related more to cruising speed, city driving, how fast you accelerate, got a flat tyre? Consumer Reports equated the extra gas used by run the AC to the drag created by keeping a window open.
Regarding gas, make sure you get it at a Tier 1 stations; Chevron, Shell, Costco. Not at uncle Joe's station and u should be fine.
