Im getting 13mpg (after refill) according to the on board computer. I guess its very low because I do 90% city driving, the few times I mixed some highway driving in, I got about 15mpg. It somewhat surprises me because I am an unspirited driver and I always use 91 grade petrol. Your price per gallon kills me JSKennedy, I pay $1.10 cad per litre here, which is US$3.90 a gallon

So you have concluded that it is worth while to save $80 a year to go against manufacturer's requirement for octane. I hear you can save another $20 a year by using KMart engine oil

my one 26.5mpg trip was driving at or below speed limit almost all highway the entire tank of gas. was pushing to see how high i could get the mpg
sorry to hear about the high gas prices up north, i'm often pissed about prices being too high here

You are getting excellent mileage out of your RX350. Is your RX FWD or AWD?
My wife told me she got 16 mpg from the first tank of gas on her RX350 AWD, mostly city driving with some highway thrown in.

Even back to my RX300 with those same pressures I was getting 19-20 city and 24-26 hwy. You should be able to get that or better.

JsKennedy, if you exclude the first two fill ups when your car had less than 1,000 miles (which is the break-in period when mileage is lower), it looks like you are averaging an extra 1 mpg on premium vs regular or about 5% greater.
