How has your reliability been? You're a great person to ask, having owned it for 9 years since new and having put over 200k miles on it. That's really valuable information, especially considering the fact that most people don't keep theirs for that long from new, or don't have it from new if they have had it for that long (or not even that long) — at least on here and on Reddit. Your experience would be extremely holistic, considering you've owned it from new, and for the years and miles.

 

i have not done one thing to this car other than normal maintenance. I.e. Oil changes, tires, brakes, etc.
Never taken it back to the dealer for any 30k, 60k, 100k, checks at all. Never changed the trans. fluid, brake fluid or any fluid!! Best car I have ever known, hence the reason I have just purchased a new 2017 ES 350.

 

Also just as a note, I've never put my car in Eco mode before, but I do use the eco display (the blue thing above the little digital display). And my 27.3 includes a bit of city driving.

 

That's awesome. Could you share some pictures?

 

Been tracking my car on fuelly since I bought it 2 plus years ago (2015). Converting to US gallons, the average over that entire time period has been
27.5 Avg MPG
28.4 Last MPG
35.7 All time Best

Metric results (which since I live in Canada is what I use) are this:
8.6 Avg L/100km
8.3Last L/100km
6.6 L/100Km all time best.

 

 

I think that 23 mpg for a 1600 mile highway trip seems a bit low. Granted if you're driving up to 85 mpg you're going to burn more fuel at a higher rate... I know on long highway trips I'll avg about 75 mph and will get anywhere from 30 to 32.5 mpg..

 

I would agree your 23 mpg is lower than what I have experienced.
Wife and I just returned from a 3200 mile trip in my '14 ES 350 and it made 30 mpg for the entire trip (calculated). Mostly interstate driving 75-80 mph. Individual fill ups varied 3-4 mpg depending on cold temps, headwinds, refueling shutoff, etc. Tire pressures were at 34 psi cold for this trip.
Was your car fully loaded or not so much? What tires and air pressure are you running? Mileage can drop dramatically when running at higher speeds.

 

 

My experience is that my 2015 ES350's display is very close to calculated, usually within 1/2 mpg or right on. My 2013 ES300h on the other hand is always off. It displays anywhere from 1 to 2 mpg higher than calculated.

 

How did you calculate using the dash? Far as I know you can't set it for 3 trips (or can you). You would have to weight the length of each trip.
