Drop in MPG since the Intake VVT Actuator Gear recall service?
Anyone else experiencing a drop in MPG since the recall service? After two tanks, I'm averaging a drop of about 2 MPG.

Does this recall affect the GS450h? Although, We don't get the 350 over here in the UK the engines essentially the same! I believe the 2gr lump in the 450h is de-tuned slightly as the hybrid drive adds 40bhp, so it may be different anyway??

Mine was getting 20 before the recall now it is at 18 after. I thought that “free” tank of gas with a recall was a little strange. I guess Lexus must have known this was coming. In hindsight I shouldn’t have asked my dealer why they didn’t fill it up.

Wow, I'm getting like 23-24 mpg then again I drive in all sorts of driving conditions to and from work. Before the recall I'd like I was more in the 25 mpg range so not to far off.

This thread has scared me away from the recall for now - I currently get between 16-19 MPG and I'm terrified it'll drop 5 MPG... I absolutey loathe living in miami as it is (T - 1 year to move). If getting this recall means getting significantly less milage, i'm holding off for now (luckily mine is a 2010 with 28k miles - so i have some time)
