I'm getting a little better than 15 MPG on my '07 IS350 commuting from Brooklyn to Manhattan in NYC. Is this anywhere near normal? I'm approaching 90k Miles

If this helps, I do a SO CAL commute with 50% city and 50% highway on the commute that is about 5 miles. Had the car for 17k and computer reads 24.6 on the overall MPG.

For my job I have to go onsite to clients all over LA and this will be sometimes in the dead heat of traffic and also smooth sailing.


I just got my sparks replaced, trans service, wheels & tires, springs, spoiler, top engine clean, alignment done... Im also going to reset my ECU and see what happens..

Ill update what happens with these changes... I am probably going to restart the overall MPG's see if all this does intact help..

Sounds about right if your doing 50/50 driving -- Especially if you get some of that time in serious traffic, it really drops gas mileage sitting in traffic.

I have very low miles on my car and I suppose 23.8/24.3 is okay with 50/50. 19 sounds like a lead foot.

It's also what/where you're driving. I drive mostly hills. So I have like 40 mpg going to work, like 12 coming back haha
