Usual GS MPGs?
I'm not trusting the EPA on this. What is the usual MPG of the GS300 and GS400? And what's the best possible MPG achievable?
I'm competing 3 Lexus's LS 1stgen (2nd best looking LS), SC 1stgen (best looking SC) and GS 2ndgen(best looking GS)
Thanks!

Depends how heavy your right foot is..
For a V8 GS however.....
It is possible to drive the snot out of it and still get over 14+ mpg in town
Treat it nice and you'll see 20+mpg in town, and 26+ on open road.
It also depends on fuel in your area, Ethanol blends will bring down your mpg's by 15-20% from my experience.

I drove from Denver to Phoenix and got 27mpg! Typically I average 19.5 on a tank. I commute 50 miles round trip each day with mostly highway @ 80mph, but with plenty of city too with kids and stuff.

considering 05 300
Hello,
I'm seriously considering buying an '04 or '05 GS 300 and was wondering about the mpg. I've got a '94 Q45a that's in need of several thousand $$ of repairs that don't make any sense to do and was wondering 'how the other half' lives. I read on some other forum (not Lexus) the other day where many owners were claiming 30mpg or more (which seemed very strange) with their GS's, but now I can't find that thread. I live in Land O Lakes, FL & most of my driving would be at 55mph locally--significantly higher on the Interstate! I routinely got 17mpg in my Q & I drove the heck out of it so I was curious if that's what I could expect from a GS or if it would be more. Some of you have said you get 27 or 28--is that typical?
Thanks
