2014 IS250 F-Sport RWD
City MPG Avg: 15mpg. Los Angeles (Koreatown to Downtown on weekdays home -> work) A LOT of stop and go.
Highway MPG Avg: I got 27mpg the other day from Fullerton to Koreatown on I-5 at night though.
Only have 450 miles on the meter right now . Maybe the break-in period is causing this MPG to be so low?

Default Better mileage than expected

I'm actually getting better mileage than I thought I would.

Trip from Kelowna to Vancouver after picking up the car, got about 9L/100km (26MPG US Gallon) which includes some hard driving in the country and climbing over mountain passes. Locally for my commute in Greater Vancouver, which includes a lot of stop and go traffic, getting about 11L/100km (22 MPG). Presumably this will improve slightly as the engine breaks in, since the car only has a few hundred km on it so far. And this is for the 350 AWD F-Sport.

I think one key is driving gently in urban settings, since it the consumption goes up impressively when you drive it like you stole it.

I just drove from Atlanta to Cincinnati last weekend, all highway driving up I-75 in Normal Mode and cranked out an average of 31.9 MPG on a tank. I also did the trip up there in one tank of gas... about 470 miles.

2014 IS350 AWD F Sport w/ 2,500 miles. Getting steady 22-23 mpg driving mainly in Normal mode (occasional Sport runs) with a 50/50 city/highway mix. When I get cruising on the highway and put it in Eco Mode I get 27-28 mpg. I always run Sunoco Ultra 93. Oh and I have the F Sport exhaust. Love this car.

"Only" 15 mpg's!? Wish I was getting 15; I've averaged 12 since new, and not happy.

I'm at 4600 miles with an AWD 350. I'm averaging about 18.5, which is pretty much as expected, given my daily route, driving style, and the EPA ratings.

I'm averaging about 18-19 mpg on the tank of gas that came out of the dealer. I have about 150 miles on my car so I'm hoping the mpg gets higher as the engine breaks in. My 2006 GS300 is actually doing much better with gas mileage.
