Default MPG for RX330 FWD?

Seem to be getting <20 for city driving regardless of how tactfully I drive. On the hwy I'm around 24. It's not the tire pressure---I'm running at spec.

Anyone else getting lower than expected MPG? Thanks,

On our last long highway trip (~600 miles round trip), our AWD yielded ~24 MPG. Around the city, we've been seeing ~18-20 MPG.

I got around 25 MPG on my last trip averaging 75 MPH, but the trip before last, when i averaged 65 MPH i got 27 MPG. I average around 19 in the city. Of course i use premium gas and mines an AWD.

OMG. California's gas sucks. I use Chervon permium gas for all cars I have and My RX330 AWD only get 15-18 in town. 22-24 highway. People from other state always get better gas mileage than we californian (due to those oxygenated gas).

BTW my Miata used to get around 22 mpg in town (should be 26 if I am in another state) and now is around 18! I missed my 1982 civic which I got 28 in town and almost 40 in the freeway. I wish they have RX400H now
