I had planned on buying an rx450h tomorrow. It was a great looking car that I have driven a couple of different times, so can't rate that. But i did want to talk about the 'gas' math. In 2021, it is $0.56 more per gallon for premium and regular gas. The RX450h has a 17.2 gallon tank. So at this date, it is a full $10 more per tank. I fill up every 2 to 3 weeks. So $10 spread across time ... IDK if it's worth a serious argument. HOWEVER, I want this car to travel ... up to 1000 miles at a time. I used to take a silverado that got 22 miles per gallon on those trips and was hoping for some savings. With premium gas, that will be about the same cost with the lexus with much more comfort. If we just use round numbers and say you will get 500 gallons per tank (presuming 30 mpg), that is a per mile cost of .099 if you could use regular gas and .119 per mile for premium. So, about 2 cents per mile difference for premium over regular gas. If you want to assume 400 miles per tank, That is $0.124 per mile at regular gas, while premium would be $0.148 per mile. About 2.5 cents per mile difference. Is that expensive? depends on your driving habits. If you drive 10 miles a day, it is $1.48 on the high end, $1.19 on the lower end. If you drive hundreds of miles, it's way more. For a 60 mile trip, it is $8.88 with premium, $7.44 with regular gas (using the 400 miles per tank figures). For a 600 mile trip, add a zero to all the numbers... $88.80 premium and 74.40 regular ... $14.40 difference. There have definitely been times where that $14.40 is a big difference. Thankfully, that's just one less fast food meal these days, that I don't need anyway. I used to drive a corolla and got 40 miles per gallon on the highway, so I'm going to have to spend more unless I go back to a corolla. Since discovering this premium gas requirement, I haven't decided if I will change my purchase decision. But with the cost of gas discussion in the comments, thought i would put some numbers out there.

This is a smaller SUV than the larger LG series I have sold this car and bought a 2017 RX 350...I figured it would take 5-7 years to break even on the hybrid version. Basically, it is the same car with new bells and whistles. Don't buy the lift gate swipe option...it just never works wwhen it comes out.hen I need it. I'll buy a 2020 version when it appears.

Please don't get the Hybrid version if what you want is to save on gas. Gas required for this vehicle is Premiun, so you'll pay more at the pump. The tank takes about 14 gallons and I get about 300 miles about 22 mpg. I believe "Hybrid cars" are just a trend that does little or nothing for the environment. It does Nothing for your wallet. I think the only good thing I heard about Hybrid is that there's no smog check ever. It's extremely distracting every time you're looking at that dashboard to see if you're saving any gas. I won't recommend the hybrid version.
