Most of my daily driving is in stop and go traffic, so it's not very spirited then. When I go to hockey (once or twice per week, about 15-20 miles each way), I'll be in S+ mode, but manual shift. Certainly during those drives I'm more aggressive in how I get onto the highway and depart from stoplights.
Overall I'd say I'm not super heavy on the accelerator, though.

The biggest noticeable difference between IS250 & IS350 is from dig.
Once moving the difference isn't as much. But I felt that the previous gen IS350 accelerated noticeably quicker than the new IS350

I've only done a couple of hundred miles so far but, round the town in my IS300H, I'm getting an average of 35.4 miles per UK gallon. Which equates to 30MPG in US gallons..

The 300h's 50+ mpg runs you guys are making is pretty astonishing. I definitely would've considered it if it were available in the US. Just having that much range between fillups is very convenient.
It's also surprising that the 250/350 are often within 2-3 mpg of each other. Makes me feel okay that I ordered the big engine this time around.

The down side is highway driving since the petrol engine is constantly in above 45 mph. I get about 38 mpg at 70 mph. That's more normal for a 2.5 litre, 4 cyl petrol engine.

And a steady 35-38mpg , irrespective of road, is pretty good! Round town my GS used to do around 22mpg.

what do you guys get at 100 mph? (l/100km?)

Still happy though, since the EV mode feels very luxurious. Soundless driving is the best.
I don't drive ever 100 mph since that would cost me my license. I'd imagine you'd get around 30 mpg in that speed.

So what’s the verdict here, Gentlemen? Have your mpg’s improved after ‘break-in’ (after the 1,000 mile mark)? I’ve done 700 miles and have been averaging 12 mpg’s with 50-50 city-highway driving. Dealer claims they were able to get 22 mpg’s, so I asked to go on a road test with a tech to see for myself and according to his laptop, we were getting 14 mpg’s on a short, 10-minute city drive.
Then, when waiting for my car to be washed, I saw another IS350 AWD F Sport, the owner of which said he’s done 1,700 miles and is averaging 15.6 mpg’s with 50-50 city-highway driving, who added that he’s surprised too, as his GS350 AWD gets 19 mpg’s. Also saw two IS250 AWD’s, one with 700 miles and the other with 2400 miles, which were averaging 20.5 and 20.6 mpg’s, respectively.
Insight and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!

After 500 miles, 24.5 mpg on normal mode driving 50/50 city and highway miles. Use to driving a hybrid and using some hypermiling techniques, but I'm really ready to just drive the car and have fun.
