My brother wants to buy a new SUV and has his eye on a Lexus. I mentioned that he may want to be careful when shopping because some luxury vehicles use premium gas, which is certainly not cheap right now…

Your brother’s lucky that you’re looking out for his wallet! Some Lexus SUVs require premium gas, including:
GX
LX
NX 350, NX 350h, NX 450h+
RX 350, RX 450h
These SUV models all require Premium 91-octane unleaded gasoline. All other models and unlisted trims (such as the Lexus NX 250) can take Regular 87-octane unleaded gasoline without issue.
Just because your brother’s car takes premium gas doesn’t mean he needs to pay premium prices for insurance coverage. Since you’re already keeping an eye on your brother’s budget, why not recommend Jerry to help lower his
