My average is 10.2 MPG I have about 330 miles on it, all downtown big city, stop and go driving. My last IS350 was averaging about 12.5 so I figure with AWD and it being so new thats about right.

So i've driven about 15xx miles on mine and my average over the last 5 fillups have been about 25 mpg.

This is using mostly ECO mode and mainly highway driving.

IS350 F-Sport. I drive pretty aggressively and like someone in here said, I'm addicted to sport+ mode. I drive mainly city and if I hit the freeway its not often and not for long periods of time. I have 2000 miles now over 6-7 weeks and I've only seen two numbers on the "after reset MPG" display...

16.9 or 17.1.....so if this is accurate....FUUUU***. haha...

Mostly normal. I have it in sport mode about 10 percent of the time though. I took this pic today.

State City/Highway as a percentage.- how much do you drive on the highways and how much just local roads to the best of your knowledge as a percentage figure.
I doubt if the effect of break-in will be as significant as some people are expecting. I don't think that in new cars there is a break-in in the sense that used to apply to car engines many decades ago. It is mostly an obsolete concept, according to most of what I read about it over the past twenty or so years. There will be some loosening of the engine, but it is a slow process that occurs over tens of thousands of miles.

Everyone always wants to know if their car is getting the same mileage as other people's, and that's why this question is often asked. But it is pointless, because the difference in the kind of driving that two different people do is the factor that determines virtually all of the difference in fuel consumption.

The factor in fuel consumption that often gets less attention than it should is the number of times per week your car goes through the warmup/cool down cycle. This typically is correlated fairly well with the percentage of city driving, but even for two drivers who do mostly city driving and who drive similarly, there can be significant differences in the number of times per week the car undergoes full or partial warmup/cool down cycles.

10.8 L/100km (21.8 mpg). Not bad for my first tank for mostly city driving, A/C on entire time.

IS250 AWD

In my IS300h I've been as low as 4.2 liters per 100 km. That is about 56 mpg

Normal consumption for the car is about 6,0 liters per 100km (39mpg) on highway driving and 5,0 liters per 100km (47mpg)on country roads and in city driving, when you drive it economically.
