every where is a pot hole.AWD ..
Someone help me ...
if i had 350+ miles 
Hmmm 255 miles...if your filling about 14.5 gallons each time like i do then thats almost 18 MPG. If your doing mostly stop and go driving in the city, i can see why your getting that kind of gas mileage. I believe the MPG for a 06+ IS250 AWD is 20/26. So it sounds about right maybe? lol

I have AWD and I was getting under 300 about twice.
Used to get higher than that with the city/freeway driving but also consider that the gas stations are possibly still using the winter blends, which causes the fuel to burn sigficantly faster even thou the octane has not changed. Once they go back to their normal blend, the MPGs should go up. This is noticable at city speeds, at freeway speeds not as much.
I know there is not anything wrong with my car because even with the winter blend if I do straight freeway (about 110 miles) driving from fill up, the needle drops approximately about the same spot as if it was the normal blend.

I was able to hit 401. Range approx just hit 0 right on the dot. I could push more but didn't try.
Drove from Seattle to Van (about 140+ Miles / 227.5+ km)
Driving around Vancouver
Driving back to Seattle (another 140+)
Drive to work and home for three days. Note, I have to also go up a mountain when going home.
