whats your mpg on RX450h?

Snowman, I have a solution for your dislike of the front grille. Buy a 2010 RX450h. Very little is different from your current car in every respect--except that it has a lovely front end. I've had my 2010 for just over a month now, and it is a great car. And the nice thing about Lexi is that their owners apparently take very good physical care of them. My car literally looks brand new, even down to the leather smell.
This spindle thing may be the current fad, but I hate the look. Reminds me of the Storm Troopers in Star Wars. But to each his own, I guess.

I got 27.1 MPG on my 2010 RX 450h, 91 Octane, AWD, no ECO mode (so I can have all the power whenever I want).
Don't be afraid to allow the engine to get to the "white" zone from time to time (when you need to speed up). The key is to allow the regenerative braking to recapture the energy. On top of increasing the MPG, my brake is 95% new. I expect to not change brake pads ever on this car.

2015 RX450h has 65 liter fuel tank vs. Bimmer X5's 85 liter. I used fill up every week when I had X5 with Octane 91 Shell. Now I fill up every two weeks. I don't bother checking MPG. Starting new year they added 4.9 cents per liter carbon tax. dollar or two extra when filling up.

i see you have the same wheels as my 2015 450 h. They came out in 2015. Dealer did you a favor-- the original wheels were no where near as nice.

I had an 80 mile round trip with moderate hills on the highway yesterday and recorded a 25.5 mpg, which is really good for me. The cruise was set at 75 mph for about 70% of the way. The other times, I had to use the brakes due to traffic. this is really odd for me. My in-the-city driving only nets me about 24.5 to 25 mpg. I guess I have to attribute this to stop and go situation of Los Angeles traffic. It's more like jam on the brakes and mesh the throttle type of traffic.
My car is doing the complete opposite of what a hybrid should be doing which is to get great mpg in the city. yet nothing shows up on the dash regarding the hybrid system. I'd like to take it to the dealer but don't want to waste my time at a dealer giving me blank stares as if they just entered kindergarten for the first day. Of the three dealer dealerships around me, 2 of them have F rating on BBB. The best one has a C- rating.
Anyone know an indy shop in northern Los Angeles area who can check out the hybrid system better than the kids over at the dealer?

I have a UK 2010 RX450h and my mileage has averaged at 33 mpg since i bought it in December. I know our gallons are different to yours. 70% town work and 30% on longer runs. They advertise it here as 42mpg overall but I can't see that being achievable. Presumably the warmer summer conditions should see an improvement. I generally run it in ECO mode.

One of the dealer just moved up to D- rating. https://www.bbb.org/losangelessilico...s/?review=true They must be jumping up and down with joy and patting each other's backs.

On a different note, my friend drove my car down to San Diego (with me in it) from Los Angeles and recorded 27.5 mpg using his heavy foot. He kept the cruise at 75 mph and had many bursts above 90 mph around Camp Pendleton area. All done in S mode.
Still scratching my head about Lexus claim of higher MPG in city driving......

in cold weather for sure. My last car '15 Bimmer X5 has 85 liter fuel tank vs. RX's 65 liter one. I used to fill up the Bimmer every week, I fill up the RX every two weeks.
