What kind of gas mileage are you guys getting? PWR mode on or off?

I am getting an average of 20-22 miles to the gallon with the PWR button on.. That is city driving. I also have an SRT Intake.

I just got 20.69 MPG on this last 3/4 tank. Not bad, not great though.

Not trying to highjack this thread, but where is the best gas for Lexus cars?? I currently go to Mobile..

I love the car, but the mileage sucks. I've been cruising around w/ the ac on all the time. When you guys get your average miles per gallon, Do you guys have your ac on?

I live in Scottsdale and ALWAYS drive around with the AC on during the day.
I'll usually drive with the AC off at night. My MPG isn't anything to write home about but being above 20 is all I really hoped for.

Default My mileage

The mileage on my 01 IS is pretty bad. I do a lot of city driving (with lots of hills), and estimate that I get 15 mpg.

However the last time I took on a long roadtrip I think I got about 25 mpg. I think this car acts much better on longer trips

I just got 22.58 Miles per gallon on my most recent trip to the pump. I'm thinking in the fall and winter that number should eclipse 24 MPG.
