OMG, that's far from what a new 300h ought to achieve. Are you familiar with hybrid driving "best practices?" If not, there is an abundance of info and tips on the forum. If you are driving appropriately, there may be something awry with your vehicle!

Are you sure you don't have a 350? I'm averaging a little over 26mpg with mine.

It's yours to do as you please. If you like it, that's all that matters. Personally, I may mistake it for a cop car. Welcome! And I hope you're enjoying it.

That just reminded me. I never posted a picture of mine. Since the weather still isn't cooperating, here's one from day one. Better late than never!

Thumbs up

My 2013 ES 350 Ultra Luxary is my 9th dealer purchased Lexus. Great car, comfortable & luxurious! A Little less wood & leather than my 460 L but greater value for the $!

Just purchased PVD chrome OEM 18 inch ultra Luxary wheels for my Starfire Pearl 2013 ES Ultra .
My OEM 18 inch Ultra luxary wheel finish was damaged by a hand car wash spray of some kind. Any feedback on looks of PVD chrome vs regular chrome plate? Previously I did had Lumari chrome on 2011 ES they looked great but pitted in short time even with ultra care.
