US Gal 1 x Liter 3.78541
US Miles 1 x Kilometers 1.60934

My 350F is doing 18 Miles per Gal on City, so is like 7.66 Km per Liter

You probably wanna tell if you got the IS300h, IS250 or IS350?

In IS300h you should get 16km per liters easy! (equals 37 US MPG )

lessee... 4.7km per liter converted to litres per 100km is 21.2L / 100km which is horrific for the 350. Are you using the computer or calculating it yourself after a fillup and drive to almost empty? Best to double check.

In Canada, we are getting between 10.5 to 11L per 100 km or approx 9 km per liter. Well, that was before my ecu got reset. Now it's like 18L/100km...

Maybe the car uses more gas in hotter climates? Phillippines traffic is also really bad from what I hear...or you have to wait for the ECU to adjust the engine timing to adapt to your style of driving. That takes about 1000 kms to happen from what I've read.

The 7-8 km the dealer told you is like 14L/100km which might be right for the Phillipines traffic and weather

^^^ Agree with the suggestion.

With these colder below freezing days now, I'm getting a rather poor 12L/100km (8.5 km/L or about 19.5 mpg) but that's AWD, 80% city driving, mostly on Sport and with a heavier foot (having fun)

what mode do you have it on? If you ride with the little defrost and lower footwell arrow, then your AC will be on (didn't know that) and you will use more gas....

sorry to go off topic... OP I'd wait to see what the dealer says... you could also ask them to do a used oil analysis to see if there is something wrong.
