Default Is350 mpg

Why is my MPG so low? I am only getting an average of 21MPG. I am not a rough driver, there is not a lot in my car, and my tires are fully pressured. Anything I could do to get more such as any service?

Is that from driving on the streets or highway, because for a 350 that is not low.

Highway/city? Incline? Traffic? Speed racer? Frequent stops? All contribute to mpg. And the cluster is not 100% accurate.

Yours is pretty good already lol.

With 70/30% city/highway and driving hard, I have about 19 MPG on IS350, and 21 MPG on IS250. This is based on REAL MANUAL calculations, not the display because they are overestimated almost always.

However, the IS350 display seems a lot more accurate because it usually overestimate by 0.3 MPG while the IS250 display overestimates by 2 MPG. I can trust the IS350 display much more than the IS250.

i drive 80/20 HWY/City and I get about 23 avg in my IS350. I do step on gas once in a while. I drive real soft then i can get around 24mpg. It includes San diego inclines. All the HWYs go up and down.

From what I understand, April is when the switch back to summer blend happens. I've definitely noticed an uptick in gas mileage the past week or so.
