WOW!!! That is really impressive MPG. I don't even think I get 19 MPG on my 350. Probably need to stop pushing on the gas a little to hard and trying to race everyone.

My lifetime average is 22.5mpg. Last weekend it was the very first time I hit 30mpg on the freeway on my 350 with about 10K miles. That definitely put a smile on my face. But right after the exit on my way home, the big and bright Chevron gas station was showing $4.39/gallon so that excitement was short-lived.

I can get 35 mpg if I cruise at the "sweet spot" (55-65 mph). However, with 294 and 94 construction I average about 20 mpg.

We get right at 30 mpg in our 07 IS250RWD. That's a mix of town and highway....but mostly highway. It recently jumped to 30 from about 28.9 or so. Don't know why.....wife drives fairly fast on the freeway....80 or so. Car has just over 17K miles now.

I've gotten 35+mpg on the highway but I think it was because of tailwinds. Usually it's around 30+mpg.

Hey guys, I have a quick question about the MPG screens in our gauge cluster.

The first is about the lifetime mileage. From what I understand is that this is the OVERALL mileage for every single mile since the car was constructed right or at least the trip meter in the gauge cluster was initiated?

And about the MPG for the current tank..is there any way to reset that thing prior to a trip? Because on Benz's and BMW's that number can be reset or automatically resets for every drive cycle. Let's say I start my car in the morning and avg 25mpg to get to work. When I turn the car on it'll show w/ the same mpg but is there a way I can reset it without having to fill the tank? The only time I can get the MPG on the TANK display to reset is when I fill up. Is there a way to reset this display for every single trip?
