I'll admit I do floor it but even without flooring sometimes like a good week i probably get the worse gas mpg, I think somethings wrong with my car.

the miles at a full fill is an estimate base on your previous MPG.

Lately mine is 19mpg. LOL city driving, all the redlights are set to go on red when you approach. And all the damn speed camera. And cops, well last time I got caught it was for the tint. Now my car is uglier than ever.

Anyway, you bough a Lexus with V8 or V6. U should have known what u were buying when you bought it. This is no Prius or Corolla or Civic that suppose to be good on MPG.

Anyway, I prefer a reliable car that keep out of dealer for fixes like my old Camry. A fix is easily above $200, and that is four tanks of gas.

usually around 350-370 but even when range is down to "0", the most I've been able to put in the tank is about 15.5 gal. Got 402 miles out of a tank last week coming back from VA and it only took 15.5 gal to fill. '06 GS430

WTF! I'd rather pay 60 bucks and not have the sulfur.

do you guys feel a difference between gasolines?

I routinely switch between BP and Sunoco, but I think the Sunoco ultra feels so much smoother during revs and when I floor the car or is this just me? The gas pedal feels way lighter than the BP.

I've been pondering this question but don't have a good sense. I use Shell V-Power mostly, and occasionally BP Ultimate.

Sunoco stations are hard to find around here.

to be honest, very marginal. i have tried cheveron, 76, mobil, gas in my cars (quite a few of them). i never really notice any significant difference. granted, i don't think i will to arco or other really non-brand gas station...

Our California crap is one of the most expensive and it's diluted with ethanol.

07 GS350 290-320 I also pay about $50 a tank. I step on it often also...usually cruise at 80 on the freeways or more.

You know, I don't think we really go 80, when it says 80. Don't mean to get off topic, but is it just me, or is our 80mph not really 80mph. GPS tracking shows me going a few miles below. Also, pacing newer Civics with those huge digital speedometers seems to confirm this also. I'm on stock wheels too. Anyone else notice this?

My experience indicates the speedometer's indication is about 3 mph less than the computer. I've played with this on several long drives.
