What am I doing Wrong!
Ok so I've been getting poor gas mileage numbers I can't say I'm trying my hardest to get good numbers, but I swear these numbers are terrible. I seem to be averaging 16-17 MPG. I usually fill up when the needle gets to half a tank. What am I doing wrong.

i third that... i'm getting 14.4.... and with the 2013 ES350 loaner i'm getting 23.4. used to get 16.0 i the GS and now it's decreasing. i was told by a techie that... i could have gotten some watered down gas, and to let it run out and fill up again. i use BP 93 and i only frequent 2 gas stations. well, i let it run out twice and still the same thing.

I drive a lot of mixed driving and I think the biggest things with this car are speeds under 85 and in general, not too much on/off with the throttle. I like how intuitive the tranny/motor are (easy downshifts for passing even in Eco) but I suspect it's not so great for mileage.

I'm getting between 18-19 in the city and 23 (actually reached 24) in mixed driving. I have a lead foot and drive mostly in Sport in the city, so I know it's not the type of driving. I have 6,000 miles on my GS, so it is well past the break-in period. Maybe I shouldn't trust the trip computer and start doing the calculations myself?

everytime i fill up the trip computer says i have 294mpg but when i calculate it i would get around 320. so it seem like the computer is slightly off. and also i was on ethanol free fuel, i am testing with chevron vs ethanol free and so far ethanol free is around 1.5mpg more than ethanol fuel.

Hell yeah, it was sold today and I was saying to myself that thing had great gas mileage. My service guy told me that I need to let it break in the numbers will get better with more mileage. I hope so as these numbers are no where near the expected numbers. Maybe its because of the colder temps, that we are getting these numbers.

When I fill mine up it shows 315 miles range. I'm getting 19 in town and 26 on the highway. I don't drive hard and I use Eco in. town with a occasional Sport+. And drive about 75 on highway. I have not been able to get the rated highway mileage however no matter how hard I try.

Keep in mind that when the car's computer calculates mpg, it is using the MOST RECENT measurements for injector pulse width and speed.
Try doing a manual calculation on a full tank of gas and you will be pleasantly surprised.
