what mileage are you getting on highway on regular gas?

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.
