OK so when i drive my Lexus I get about 22 mpg. But when my wife drives it she's getting 15.6. Can anyone tell me why?

She's got a lead foot. ��

I think I'm going to have to hand her the gas bill.

She probably drives in more stop-n-go city traffic.

Must be the kind of stop and go traffic where you and one other person stop, the light counts down and you both try to go as fast as you possibly could.

I always got in the 16s for around town driving. In fact, my GS was no better on gas than my LS is.

She's driving in Sport + mode most of the time but returns it back to ECO.

Must be to fool me

Whenever my sister drives any of our cars she always ruins the gas mileage. In the 2010 RX when I drive it I still manage to get 22.5 - 24mpg going 70-79mph on the highway and mixed city. Now that I have a 2013 GS350, she drives the RX and we are now seeing 19.7-20.5 with her driving. She use to drive a 4cyl turbo charged 2013 Kia optima SX that was suppose to get 22city and 34 highway. With her driving mostly highway, she would only get 24.1-26.8 mpg. I never got how that was possible, as it was suppose to be a fuel efficient car. Whenever I use to drive it for days on end, I would always get over 30mpg even with me going 75-80mph on the highway with mixed driving. My parents and I realized she has a very heavy lead foot, and will probably wear out all the components on any car she drives in no time.

Take away the keys and ban her from going near the GS.

Correct. Lol
