I think he actually owns those cars...

TommyJames

Which cars do you doubt?

TommyJames

I also have a Lamborghini LP670-4 SV stuck in Luxembourg that I've not driven yet, so I don't know the MPG, but expect it to be about the same as the LP640. Should have it here by Thursday.

my IS350 gets 21.5 mpg full city driving...which was the same as my 2000 Prelude 5spd. Well its not really downtown type but more suburb type city. Driving technique helps a LOT, my display has the real time mpg meter. Make it a game to learn the throttle positions and minimize braking to maximize mpg.

TommyJames

Funny you should say that. We used my LP640 R for the Lamborghini sounds for the Forza game. And if you don't believe that, my name is in the credits for the use of my car.

TommyJames

I once got sustained 27 MPG in the LS460L while driving through Montana. I later realized I was in a fairly strong tail wind.

TommyJames

That's about what I got with my SC430. I had a lot of trouble with my car. I never got close to 30 on the highway. I think at best I got about 20 MPG and most of the time I was in the mid teens.

Who did you order the SV through? I am an aquantance of Roy Cats of Cats Exotics. I saw his white SV (first one in the county) when he first got it.

I am a Lambo club of America member too.

TommyJames

Lamborghini Bellevue. I know Roy very well. Roy had his car next to my Roadster at RTC that first Saturday morning he brought it. He just hit 5,000 miles with it! I'm also good friends with Andrew Romanowski, I'm in the last issue a lot because of the event I hosted in OC.

Very cool! Were you down at Monaray? Kurt Shanaman (our club pres) is pictured with Andrew in this months issue too. I'm in Portland OR and know Kevin very well too(of Cats).

TommyJames

Yup, sure do. I have the green LP Roadster if you've been up here. My new SV is also green. I'm Tom Nault, my real name is already on the blogs so I don't try to hide who I am.

TommyJames

I had my Phantom at Monterey. I didn't bring the LP. It was on display in Carmel.

HS250h is going to be your best bet for the best combined fuel economy of any luxury vehicle. Another worthy look is the IS250 RWD which is 21 city and 29 hwy but I've been able to get 33-34 mpg easily on the highway. Lexus seems to under rate their fuel economy numbers. For example my 09 ISF is rated 16 city/23 hwy, but I consistently get 23-24 mpg mixed city driving. 28 mpg is the best i've ever achieved on the hwy.
