Default Fuel filter changes

How often do you change your fuel filter ? (this is on a 97 sc400)

I usually change my fuel filters every 30,000 miles on my vehicles, but I just recently had the 60,000 miles service done on my sc 400 at a lexus dealership and they told me the fuel filter rarely if ever needed changing anyone ever heard of this ? They also informed me they don't even stock them since they rarely change them but would gladly get me one but didn't recommend changing it, his exact words was it doesn't need changing but if you want to spend the money we'll be glad to do it for you.

I change mine every 30k or so. Peace of mind is a wonderful thing.
