Although at higher altitudes you can get away with lower
octanes than at sea level.

Car guys. How important or necessary is it to use high octane gas in a Lexus IS

Right, but stick with the "names" regular, mid-grade, premium and you'll be good

Correct. Regular at sea-level is like 87 and up here in the mountains its 85.

Shouldn't be a problem in a lower end performance vehicle like that.

It's important and necessary in my opinion if called for

Course doesn't it change with your elevation (as far as what octate in needed)?

I think that's right, but I've heard the elevation where it

I have heard 5k ft. as well. I live at 6k so I get 85 when my car calls for 87
