Thinking of getting a 2nd gen....?
Let me start off by saying I am not new to Lexus's. I have owned an 04 ES330, 07 IS250 and a 06GS300. I was set on getting a 2000 GS300 to commute around 75 miles a day to work until i started "searching" about the MPG. Seems to be a huge difference between the 98-04's to the 06 I had. That car got 28-31 mpg on the highway. By my search I am reading a 00-04 gets 18-22 mpg. Is that correct? Would I be better off going with the same year ES300?

I just traded in my 01 GS430 after a wonderful 170K miles. I consistently got 20-22 around town ( and I have a heavy right foot) and 28 - 30 on the highway. You should do that or better with GS 300.

i love how some noob always pops up once a year and claims to get 40-60% more mileage than the factory says they are gonna get. OP we have this discussion several times a year, due to the differences in the engine weights the differences in mileage for all models is negligible
or in the GS400/430

Those are the only two models I am willing to consider. So I guess I will start my ES300 search!

Hey Dude, had the car (01 GS430) 7 years. Worst city milage I ever got was 19 and that was in the summer with the AC on. Got 21-22 the rest of the time. Trips on freeway of 250-350 miles I put it on 75 to 80 with cruise control and got as low as 27, as high as 30.
