A misfire is possible. I've been using premium gasoline, as recommended. Did you also observe the uneven idling and stalling? What resolved your issue?

Yep, the uneven idling and stalling were definitely part of it! I fiddled around a bit, but in the end, I took it to a trusted workshop. They mentioned something about the injection system being clogged. Might be worth getting it checked out by a professional.

Thanks! A professional diagnosis seems warranted. My suspicions regarding the injection nozzle appear to be well-founded. I'll schedule an appointment with my trusted mechanic. The projected repair cost is approximately 515€. I appreciate the advice!

Whoa, those symptoms sound familiar! I've got an LS too, and I experienced something similar a while back. Rough starts, gulping down fuel, and the engine felt like it was struggling. I'm no mechanic, but could it be a misfire? What kind of gasoline are you using?
