Hi everyone, my car is 2013 GS350 Fsport AWD and it gets a relatively bad MPG in winter. The dashboard says 15 MPG in my daily use. I just drive in the small town with several traffic lights. And after driving fiercely for a while, the number becomes to 13.
I'm in central Illinois, the temperature outdoor is 23F now.
I just want to know the MPG of you guys' car. Is anyone in the same situation like me?

I reset mine before traveling from Philly to MD this week (highway) and now after a few days of commuting I'm still reading over 25mpg. My commute is 80% highway. '13 AWD (non F Sport). Previously I have ranged between 20 and 24mpg, and I have never driven in ECO.

I am not in the same temps as you, but I just purchased a 2013 with 56K miles, I am seeing about 17 mpg in mostly ECO mode, with temps in the 40s with driving conditions similar to you.

I am seeing about 18-20 with temps ranging from 20-40 degrees currently in my 2013 GS AWD in a mix of normal and eco modes. Mine is mostly highway but heavy traffic so a lot of stop and go!

I could see 15mpg if you are doing short trips, stop and go, and possibly snow/slush on the roads.

Cold weather really kills MPG.

So far, I've seen 17-19 in 40/60 City/hwy driving. I have a 14' RWD. Also warming up and idling kills mileage so if you are letting your car warm up at all, it eats up your MPG. Freeway driving bumps up to 25.

17-19 mpg in city stop-n-go driving is about what you can expect regardless of ambient temperature. Heavy on the gas pedal and it could drop to 13-15 mpg. Constant highway driving at typical speed limits on level roads will get it up to around 26-28 mpg...with a combination of highway and city driving somewhere in between.

Winter gas bites.

That is disappointing, terrible V8 like fuel economy, worse then V8's in many cases. I see around 18mpg-20mpg with my V8 GS in winter in my driving though the winter has been more mild this year. I would figure a DI modern V6 with a 8 speed auto would get much better fuel economy then 13-17mpg. A LS460 generally gets better fuel economy, is bigger, has much more power, and is much smoother. I am leaning more to a LS460 then a GS for my next car even though I am kind of young for a LS, I don't want to go back to a 6 cylinder especially one that feels a bit lethargic for the power it is supposed to be making from test drives and gets V8 like fuel economy.

I have an AWD non-F sport and do only city driving. Typically get between 13-16MPG while driving 90% of the time in Normal mode. My MPGs are the same regardless of the season.

I am in the same MPG area.. this car is pretty bad in gas mileage.

Winter gas is not the problem, it's the winter temperature that hurts most!

I get about 19 mpg. But that is really low.

Current temperature for me is at 50 Fahrenheit. Showing 18.6 MPH which I hugely dislike. Came from a 2014 Q60 which averaged 21 MPG having more power, bigger fuel tank, and a less efficient transmission.

I get around 18 mpg average on my AWD GS. It's not great, but I don't mind. At the 9-10k miles per year I drive, even 5 mpg better on average would only save me about $300 for the whole year. It's not worth stressing over.
