^^ I don't plan on using any special spot to take my car other than to just make sure I use premium gas. For what it's worth, I have been using Costco gas for the last 10 years on all my cars and never had any issues. I am not sure how things work in the States but we have 1 refinery where I live and it pretty much supplies the gas for all the various stations around anyway, including Costco, so when you fill up around here, you are mostly going to the station that offers the reward program or discounted price that tickles your fancy....

Lexus of Wesley Chapel has an LE on their site. Don't know if it's spoken for or the number. I don't think so since they try to get em out asap. They have a required ceramic for 5k. Otherwise MSRP. Ceramic is for outside and inside (they say) and is fully covered for damage. Interior is covered too for any stains, tears, scratches etc. They said even if your dog scratches it up or anything, seats too. If you're local, as long as you do all recommended maintenance there, oil changes are always free there. If you can't go drive it there, they'll send someone with a loaner to pick your car up and drop off your loaner. Tho I dunno how they are with that but apparently they've gone as far as Tallahassee to pick a car up for maintenance
Forrest Browne there is great. 4135191044
Side note, they have number 48 for the RCF Fuji there

I stick with anything that is Top Tier. Costco is the only wholesale club that has Top Tier gasoline so you are fine there. When I fill up, if I'm not near a Costco, I fill up at Exxon/Mobil stations. I've heard Shell is good, but for some reason the ones we have here think they are selling liquid gold and their $1 more on average per gallon versus the other top brands. By all means avoid Wawa if you have one near you. For a little bit I was using it on my Corolla because it was the newest gas station in town, and I ended up having to have my throttlebody cleaned twice.

Its probably all in my head, but anything other than Shell/BP or Amoco/Citgo (in that order), will return an even worse gas mileage and less giddy-up. My parents drive a fleet of Hellcats (Chargers, TRX, Durango, etc) and swear by Racetrack and Costco.

Costco gas will do less damage than some of the treatments some of the IS 500 are getting before being delivered (lol)

I use Phillips 66 premium no ethanol gas here in Oklahoma. I always use 100% gasoline in all my vehicles.

LOL @ @Carolina50 and @TipsyTonio .
Since I’m the only non-MOPAR in the family, they’ll say I’m stuck up. My consistent response is, nope…y’all are just stupid.
Then again, they think the interiors are just as lux as Lexus. That’s all you need to know… Very well-to-do people do not necessarily mean smart in every aspect.
