Default How many miles do you get from a full tank?

How many miles do you guys get from a full tank of gas? I get an average of 270-ish from driving Eco mode (80% city 20% fwy) , which I think is pretty low :s

Depends when you decide to fill up. Are you filling up when range says 0? I get about 260-270 miles too (filling up in single digit range), but I drive 100% in Sport S+ (60% highway heavy traffic, 40% city).

06 gs300 according to the car it says usually 328 can't prove it though but that is what it says when you start driving with a full tank. actual miles unknown. That would be a estimate. I am not sure if you are referring to estimate when you start driving or actual miles you have recorded on like a trip odo.

Wouldn't it make more sense to discuss mpg? It resets every time you fill up. We get 18 in a fairly heavy mix of city driving, 20-21 in moderate city versus open road driving, 26 in commuting into Houston in moderate rush hour traffic, and 30 in mainly freeway driving. As another comparison, where I get 26 commuting into Houston in our GS I average about 25 in my Audi A7 and I averaged about 23 in the BMW 550 I just got rid of.

310 or so in the summer, 220 or so in the winter. I do a LOT of short trips in the winter, so fuel economy really suffers. This is running it down to the end of the 'cruising range' display, at which point there's actually still quite a bit of fuel left.

That's about what I got as well in the winter. Though, this is the first Spring I'm having the GS I 'm already seeing 300+

I get about 230-250 city driving until the range reaches 20miles left to empty. mostly on normal mode.

I've lasted 400 miles highway driving from LA to Sacramento.

my recent trip to vegas. got 31MPG at 70 mph cruse control for 280miles. It was painful.

My gas light comes on when I've still got 2-3 gals. left. Fill ups in the beginning were 12 gal. & I question the size of the tank, therefore, range was based on 12gals.

I've been averaging about 20-21 MPG with mixed driving in normal mode, yielding me around 300 miles per tank.

I too would've thought I'd be averaging a bit higher, considering this is what I'm getting while consciously trying to drive conservatively.

How do you know the gas light comes on when you've still got 2-3 gallons?
