My 2006 LS430 seems to ride and handle the best with around 35PSI... Like I said above, that is cold pressure and taken before it is driven and when its been in my garage overnight. I have had a lot of cars and have collected for many years, so I am very particular about the tire pressure...

You mean kms or miles? I got kind of the same number but miles, 400-500miles/tank.

May be we should share our mpgs with settings. My average is now 21.2 mpg with my daily of 5 miles city and 35 miles highway. Tire pressure is around 33 (there's one tire always lose pressure faster than other three). May be I'll try to put 35 - 40psi. If gas type matters then I always use 7-eleven, Chevron or Shell 91.

Hwy mpg is great for the LS. The city miles on the other hand....

When i first got my LS i was super worried about the mileage, but everyday I'm surprised at how fuel efficient it is.

Like a fine wine, the car gets better with age. Hence, the high resale values.
