I'm not trusting the EPA on this. What is the usual MPG of the GS300 and GS400? And what's the best possible MPG achievable?

I'm competing 3 Lexus's LS 1stgen (2nd best looking LS), SC 1stgen (best looking SC) and GS 2ndgen(best looking GS)

Thanks!

Depends how heavy your right foot is..

For a V8 GS however.....
It is possible to drive the snot out of it and still get over 14+ mpg in town

Treat it nice and you'll see 20+mpg in town, and 26+ on open road.

It also depends on fuel in your area, Ethanol blends will bring down your mpg's by 15-20% from my experience.

 

I've been seeing an average of 22.5mpg with a mix of city/interstate driving. And thats with me getting on it here and there.

 

My GS4 always hase around 13.5-13.9 MPG, I do city driving only though.

 

I drove from Denver to Phoenix and got 27mpg! Typically I average 19.5 on a tank. I commute 50 miles round trip each day with mostly highway @ 80mph, but with plenty of city too with kids and stuff.

 

21MPG City
Personal Best 28.6MPG

 

2000 gs3 107k

22 mpg city
24 mpg freeway

 

I average around 17.4 mpg mine... mostly city driving

 

my mpg = not enough with gas at 3.75 a gallon!

 

the other day i got 25MPG. i think that's because right after the fill up i went on the freeway for 75mile trip.
usually i get 16~19 MPG depending on my mood

 

16-18 in City
21-25 on long trips on the freeway

 

Hello,

I'm seriously considering buying an '04 or '05 GS 300 and was wondering about the mpg. I've got a '94 Q45a that's in need of several thousand $$ of repairs that don't make any sense to do and was wondering 'how the other half' lives. I read on some other forum (not Lexus) the other day where many owners were claiming 30mpg or more (which seemed very strange) with their GS's, but now I can't find that thread. I live in Land O Lakes, FL & most of my driving would be at 55mph locally--significantly higher on the Interstate! I routinely got 17mpg in my Q & I drove the heck out of it so I was curious if that's what I could expect from a GS or if it would be more. Some of you have said you get 27 or 28--is that typical?
Thanks

 

no, you're often going to see mpg around 19-25, 25 on freeway 16-19 city

 

18 or 19, don't really pay attention to gas mileage too much and that's mostly highway.
