Just curious..I have a 110 mile drive everyday - what kind of mileage are you guys getting?

bootman

It all depends on how you drive.
In ECO and driving like I have an egg under my foot I was able to get 30.
However if I drive "normally" it is more like 26-27.

But normal for me is a cruising speed of 70-80.
To get 30 you need to be between 50-60.

The answer for my 300h is 41 mpg since new, 15 months.

30 - 31 mpg driving normally along NJ Turnpike and GS Parkway. ECO or SPORT do not make any difference.

For me on the open hwy, it has as much to do with winds (tail wind versus head wind). On the interstates I usually get anywhere from 39-41.5 with moderate winds. I mostly drive posted hwy speeds and use cruise control. I've gotten as low as 36mpg on a 200+ mile trip to San Antonio on I10 with a very strong head wind and hwy speeds of 75mph+.

My 1 yr anniversary is coming up and right now I have an all tank average after about 16K miles of 39.3mpg. My ratio of city to hwy is about 60/40.

EDIT: ES300h

I can't tell from the OP whether we are talking about the ES350 or the ES300h, and it is clear that there are replies from owners of both vehcles.

I have an ES 350. I live out in the country, and very little of my driving is in urban/stop-and-go conditions. My gas mileage with a little over a year of vehicle ownership has typically run between 32 and 34 mpg (and that is actual calculated mpg, not what the car's computer says). Most of my driving has been done in ECO mode, and my driving style is usually quite conservative. With more aggressive driving, I'm sure my mpg would be lower, but I also think that, if I didn't do most of my driving in areas with very hilly terrain, I could likely do better than what I have done. Also note that cold winter conditions will cause mpg to take a big hit. When temperatures drop below 20 degrees, mpg can go down by more than 25%, and, when temperatures get below 0, the hit to gas mileage is even more dramatic.

Driving my 300h to Dallas from Austin in eco mode I get about 44mpg. Coming back to Austin I get about 35mpg. That's generally driving around 65mph with the cruise control set.

SLH

My 300h is averaging right about 37mpg, so far. Most of those miles are on highway, either 70-75mph or heavy stop-and-go traffic. Probably 20% is on city streets in medium traffic.

Thanks you guys....I meant regular ES 350..

Thats interesting, because I had always used Exxon in my avalon and my 4 runner.. when I bought my 350, from day one I switched to Chevron.... my 4 runner's mileage jumped from 18 to 20.5 mpg when I switched to Chevron... Chevron is the only fuel that's been in my Lexus... took a short 150 mile each way drive this past weekend and got 28 mpg driving 75 or so.... best mileage I've ever gotten in the 350 was 30+ on a much longer trip...

Might be worth checking if both of your gas brands contain 10% ethanol which would lower gas mileage since alcohol contains far less energy per volume compared to gasoline.

I have a 2013 ES350. I average about 20 mpg combined hwy and street driving. Not very good.

Mike728

I'll say! I'm guessing either you have a lead foot, or it's a lot of stop and go.

LBCDan

I don't have a lead foot. Even when I put the car in economy mode, the best I can get is 22 mpg. I live in So. Cal. so I don't have to drive in cold, snowy weather. It's a large, heavy car plus the EPA ratings are always inflated. It is still disappointing though.
