Default MPG - Still impressive

'07 GS350 with 15,000 miles.

I get 15 MPG in the city (L.A. traffic w/ trips about three miles one way). Less then I'd hope for but that's what I get for big city living.

But what does please me is the 31.0 MPG I got driving round trip to Phoenix (with about 12 miles of city driving). Considering I averaged 71 MPH with the a/c o, a laptop and one piece of luggage in the trunk, not too shabby. FWIW, the on-line computer stated 31.6 MPG while my 31.0 MPG was calculated using miles driven divided by gallons of gas used.

I get horrible mileage on my 07 350 w/12,000 km. I only get around 13 mpg in the city (~18L/100km) all stop and go around 2 miles (~4km) per work day. Took it to the dealer and showed them...they said it was "normal."

How many gallons does our tank hold?
I had my car for 2 weeks so far and finally filled once it said 50 miles estimated remaining on the dash. I guess the tank held about 15 gallons and if I'm correct I get like 19-21 mpg city/highway.

How many miles estimated on the display u guys get when u fill up tho? 330?

i think the tank is 18 gallons, i usually put around 300-350 depending on how low i let it go and how much highway driving i do.

The car holds 18.8 gallons. Letting it go less then 1/4 tank full and you'll needs a fuel pump sooner then you think.
