From what I can gather, European vehicles can be more susceptible to intake port and valve deposits than other makes. VW had grief in this regard. This is why I love the Toyota D-4S dual-injection system.
To each their own but I shower daily......I can roll a few days without deodorant, but it eventually catches up with me
What really surprises me is all of these guys that bend over backwards to have ceramic coating, hand wash their cars, change the oil twice as often, do everything they can to treat it right and then complain about spending a little extra for a good premium detergent fuel.

I could be proven incorrect, but I believe the detergent level is the same for regular and premium fuel. However, no ceramic coating nor hand washing, but I do change the synthetic motor oil at 5K or 6 months, whichever occurs first.
Oil change at 5K for me as well!
I normally buy a couple cases at a time from amazon Toyota dealers for approx $100.00 per case.

Mobil 1, and OEM filters. I see Walmart now has Mobil 1 0W-8, which the normally-aspirated 4-banger now uses. Who would have thought oil would be that thin? The clearances must be ultra-tight.
Soon we’ll be using 0w-0, aka purified water
Regardless which gas you fill up your LC with, the gas tank is WAY TOO small!
No doubt. Really odd.

This puzzle me, as noticed the specs on the LC in an international market, albeit most likely a diesel, but it was right at 30 gallons. Some might say the hybrid battery intrudes on space for the fuel tank, but to me it appears to actually intrude on what would normally be rear floor space.
What I was thinking as I listened to video.
David does have a FE LC.
