Mpg 2014 gs highway mileage
Have our new GS for about 2 weeks and took her on our first road trip, expressway driving about 75 MPH. Cruise control, no stops and starts, about 180 miles. Our 06 GS would give us about 31 MPG, but the new one registered about 25.5 to 26 MPG. Just wondering if there is a break in period and if I can expect better mileage on the highway. Thanks all.

For what it's worth, i didn't notice an increase in MPG in my 2013 after the engine broke in; mileage has always been consistent.

That seems a little low to me. I usually average 27-29 mpg with the cruise control set at 75. When I have the cruise control set to 60 I get 33 mpg.

I have experienced the published gas consumption but only once. So you need those rare conditions to all come together, a long stretch of highway with little or no traffic on it, traveling from a higher elevation to a lower elevation and mild temperatures. For me that was a 160+ km. stretch of highway where I not only did not have to brake, was slightly downhill and the late spring temperatures were about 17-18 C at a steady 120 kph. In fact, the folks of at Edmunds when doing a long term test of the car said that many of their staff achieved the 31 mph quoted.

I drive about 180 miles round trip, daily.
I've racked up about 6k miles and I never get past 20 mpg.
That is until yesterday. I actually decided to do my full commute in S sport mode, and surprisingly hit 23 mpg.
But still, average is usually around 20 mpg and I am patiently waiting to hit the 28 mpg rating as they advertised on their website.

You must be doing a lot of stop and go to never get past 20 mpg. If you're at a steady pace and not getting over 20 mpg then there is something wrong with your car.

Am I the only one having this issue? I guess I will have to speak to Lexus about this situation.
