■Gasoline quality standards
●Automotive manufacturers in the U.S.A., Europe and Japan have developed a
specification for fuel quality called the World-Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC),
which is expected to be applied worldwide.
●The WWFC consists of four categories that are based on required emission
levels. In the U.S., category 4 has been adopted.
●The WWFC improves air quality by lowering emissions in vehicle fleets, and
improves customer satisfaction through better performance.
■Recommendation of the use of gasoline containing detergent additives
●Lexus recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to
avoid the build-up of engine deposits.
●All gasoline sold in the U.S.A. contains detergent additives to clean and/or keep
clean intake systems.
■Recommendation of the use of cleaner burning gasoline
Cleaner burning gasoline, including reform ulated gasoline that contains oxygen-
ates such as ethanol or MTBE (Methyl Tert iary Butyl Ether) is available in many
areas.
Lexus recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline and appropriately blended
reformulated gasoline. These types of gasoline provide excellent vehicle perfor-
mance, reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality.
■Non-recommendation of the use of blended gasoline
●Lexus allows the use of oxygenate blended gasoline where the oxygenate con-
tent is up to 10 % ethanol or 15 % MTBE.
●If you use gasohol in your Lexus, be sure that it has an octane rating no lower
than 87.
●Lexus does not recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol.
