On the other hand we know if we cut you in half it would say Toyota all the way through.

I regularly exceed stated mpg figures in petrol Lexus, yet struggle to get anywhere near advertised figures in Prius, CT200h and RX400h. I wonder why that is?

I'm not alone though - if you go on any UK Lexus forum you will find hybrid owners complaining about poor fuel consumption.

because lexus petrols get 30 mpg while prius is rated at 70 and people complain when they get 65? :-).

for how long have you driven prius, ct200h and rx400h?
