I wanna know too.. But from what I read. Combined for the 350 is around 20-22MPG.. Some people even reported less.

I'm in the same situation of choosing between the two. But...I shying away from the 350 because the price and fuel economy.. However, it is a blast to drive

I get about 22-24 mpg if I leave the traction control off on 95% highway driving. Otherwise, I get around 19 mpg. Honestly, I've heard the turbo on the 200t has some serious lag, you're better off with the 350 and the engine is near bulletproof.

Our 200t is so far not as good as I expected...about 200 miles on the odo and around town getting 24ish. I do drive in sport mode and contrary to above comments, don't experience much lag at all, it has good power as needed. YMMV
cheers,

From what I read, it is said that most new cars needs a "break-in" period for the engine. For the is350, during that break-in period, people say they be getting around 15mpg.. idk about the is200t tho.

Not sure if it is a liable info.

The fuel mileage on my AWD 350 has been pretty stable, even throughout the break in period. I'm at 16k miles now. I'm always at about 18-20 in town (driven fairly aggressively) and 24-26 on the highway.

I've gotten about 30 mpg highway in ECO running about 80 and in city about 22 mpg. I'm actually surprised that the 200t isn't getting better city mileage.

I'm running my is350 in Sport+ and seeing 18/19mpg but all my trips are short trips. I filled up last on Dec 5th and still have 1/4 tank till empty.
