i would change out ATF, half a can of seafoam in crankcase- oil change right after, spark plugs, and run a can of gumout fuel treatment.

the car may not need it, but fresh fluids and plugs never did any harm.

probably a good idea to look into swapping the fuel filter too, even tho gas pumps are filtered multiple times before it gets pumped into your car.

my friend is a master tech at lexus, and i plan on having him swap out all fluids before i make the move to california.

Not to worry. It just depends on how one drives. I was able to get 44 mpg on a few fill ups, but in required too much concentration on my part. So if I drive the way I usually do, it get around 35 mpg.

I never got over 38mpg and worst was 35mpg.

i wonder if its because of my tire size?
225/45/17 inflated to 42psi

When I first got her I took the boys from Cincinnati to Olando & Naples Florida $45 each way! 😭😭😭😭😭 that most likely saved me thousands and the ride was top shelf I've put almost 20k on her since I purchased

Those are awesome pics my friend. Fine looking boys! Glad it all worked out.

Our CT would not be the pick for us on a long trip. Much rather take my LS460. Any shorter trips though and the CT200 is our go-to.

Great pics!

I've taken my 2013 CT from FL to ME, and it was a pretty solid road trip car. It was leased, though, so I was sweating the miles at the end of the lease!

Sounds like a great father son trip! I got a roof rack and roof box and did a trip from SoCal --> Las Vegas --> Zion National Park --> Horseshoe Bend and Back. Love the MPG and comfort on such long road trips!

Anyone know the OP's name? Maybe he was killed on the trip, or maybe he just hates LV so bad he's embarrassed to post.

No kidding. This was his last post and he had over 7K at the time. Doesn't look good.

His name is Doug. He used to be a moderator. I'm curious as well why he hasn't posted since he moved to LV.
