Yes, the computer will make the necessary adjustment for regular"grade fuel. Lexus "recommends" premium grade but does not demand or "require" it. However, if you do hear "knocking" sounds with the regular, then switch back to premium grade and check with the servicing dealer at next visit. Our 1st Lexus was a 2001RX. Currently driving a 2007RX and a 2009ES. Have ALWAYS used "regular" grade fuel with NO problems. And as a "bragging" aside, my fuel usage just checked last week on the ES was 27.5 mpg.
