Well let's see what I can get for the next couple of days.

by the way, it's been a year since I ran off for a G37s but then coming back for a Lexus.
Here is my new ride just picked up 2 days ago. Not sure if I need to drive it for a period of time before my MPG gets better.

It's about right with a V8 engine 4.3 litter but mine is a V6 - 3.5 and my MPG is worse than yours ... must be something wrong here.

About what RPM is the car shifting at? 90% of the time I'm at or under 2k when it shifts.

For the first 2 gears they stay normally between 2k-3k then the rest is below 2k. It's been consistent at 19.1 now in the city. It's gettig better but still not what I expected.

How are you calculating the MPG? Are u Basing it off the gauge or are you calculating it at the gas pump? Miles / gal.

i dont know if i missed it or not but did you start off with a fresh full tank?

since you only got it 2 days ago, remember other people with heavy foot might have test driven it and i know at dealers when checking out the cars they tend to leave it running.
