I was bored and decided to experiment on the way to my office. You guys know that the MPG display can't be reset manually so there are no tricks here. 30.3 MPG over 111 miles and avg speed of 61 mph with some city driving!

61 mph?

Shouldn't you be in an LS...??

Not bad, what do you get going 55mph?

My GS4 gets about 33mpg at that speed.

Going down from Lake Tahoe to Central Valley? J/K. I think many people can get a good MPG if we do control our big feet on gas padel in both stop/go and top speed.

I believe it! Toyota/Lexus V6's are very very efficient. My previous Solara and Avalon proved that theory too. Now with more HP in the V6's and DI...it's proof you can get great HP and awesome fuel economy all in one.

that's because of the taiwan traffic, nothing you can do to improve your mpg

And in Florida too

I average 27 to 30 in mine all the time here in Tampa FL with stop and go traffic mixed in as well. What I discovered in heavy traffic was to let my foot off of the brake and let my engine take me to the next stop without using the accelerator. On the highway, keep it between 55 and 60 and you will see the mpg's go up! It is funny because when my wife drives the car, all she can average is 20, I on the other hand, like to take it slooooooow.

61mph was the avg with some city and mostly highway. I had my cruise set at 75mph and flip flopped a little between 70 and 80 with the cruise stalk when I ran into other cars.

2th...I assume also you have the RWD...
as the temps are warming up this will help as well.

Notice that this V6 AWD I have is very inefficient in the city.

Takes it miles travelling at 70 MPH for it to increase MPG by 0.1...takes less than a mile for it to drop 0.1....of course depends where I am in the tank.

And no I do not have a lead foot....nor do I gun it.

I got 28 mpg from LA to Phoenix running the AC , fully loaded, and cruising at 78mph ( set cruise control). These cars are freakn amazing. I know the motors are efficient, but the 6 spped tranny helps to get the rpms low. That is one of the main reasons I didnt get another infiniti. They are gas guzzlers and only have 5 speed automatics

Does anyone know what MPG the Hybrid averages ?
