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.

There's threads out there talking about the 4RX. This is not the place. Let's stick with the topic here. Thank you.

My 2012 RX450H gives 26 mpg in the city and about 27.5 mpg on highway, driving in Eco mode, 93 octane gas. Tire pressure 34psi.

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 have the 2015 RX450. It does have the newer grill that is solid and not cheap to the touch,and not the grotesque cheap example of the over design of the 2016. Love my 2015 in all,respect. My mpg is holding at 24-25 in 10-20 degree temps in Buffalo. I'm more than happy with theat. When I had my 2013 RX350 my mpg in the same conditions was 10-12,in town driving. Summer was about 16-17 tops. That's why I went to the Hybrid.

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.

Mysteriously, my in-town driving MPG has gone down to 23 mpg area. Nothing different in my driving pattern and route. Yet, over the weekend, I went up to the mountains using about 90% highways, and achieved 25.5 mpg in sport mode. Cruise was set at 75mph but avg speed was probably in the high 50's due to traffic and stuff.

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.

NateJG

Ouch. That's awful.

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......

My highway mileage is steadily climbing. I can easily hit 30-31 mpg in the city. I have 9,000 miles so far.

Htony

Driving in S mode and expect you'd get best MPG. May be in ECO mode and light foot, lots of coasting... I just drive not caring much about MPG. One thing MPG drops
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.

Your city/highway numbers definitely seem bass ackwards as they say. 21mpg is the very, very worse I've ever gotten in the city, and that was from short trip, brutal cold, blizzard like conditions. This winter has been fairly mild, floating above and below freezing day to day and I've been getting about 25-26mpg (summer is about 28-29 for me). Getting 27-28 on the highway is very tough for me, unless it's very level or a lot of gradual down hills, I'd have to keep it steady under 65.
