Just wondering if anyone else is getting 400 miles to the tank. I was pleasently surprised that the IS250 could do that. I used to drive pretty spirited and always had the ect pwr button on, but now because of gas prices nearing $4.50/gallon I decided to change my driving habits. I always use the snow button and rarely does my car see 2 rpm's (unless going uphill). The drive is a quite different but time wise, i dont think i'm loosing many minutes reaching my destinations. I drive about 75% city and 25% hwy. Its good to know that the IS can get that many miles out of a tank of gas.

 

I havent seen it personally, but my range approx just hit 400 today on my fill up, Im driving slow and granny shifting around 2.5k. in due time ill see 450 hopefully hahaha

 

How the hell is that possible, I don't think that can be done. I have babied my car for a tank and only gotten about 330 and that was about dead empty. I think there is some exaggerating going on, either that or my car just sucks gas. I always use premium too which is supposed to burn more efficiently. I am sure I am getting screwed somehow, LOL. Maybe I should try driving it in snow I always am in regular mode. Hell the car is slow anyways so who cares if it is a little slower. I bought the 250 over the 350 because I thought I would get better gas mileage, but from what I have seen the difference is negligable.

 

I can probably get 400 on my tank if I drove 100% highway... and that's with an IS350. I hit 0 miles left at 370 miles driven (maybe 80% highway), so I could probably hit 400 if I wanted...

 

that is not always true...

 

I'm mostly highway, so 400 a tank is easy, now 500......now you're just crazy :-)

The gas light comes on at 410-210 usually, I can hit 450-460 before the trip computer says 0, never had a chance to stretch it because I commute 90 miles a day. 90 * 5 = 450.

I use cruise control.

 

I'm about the same; if I take it pretty easy and drive 70%+ highway, I can get 365-380/tank with my 350. I can also get that down under 300 if I try really hard, or 400+ if I try really hard.

 

i always get around 400-450 with my 250 so i thought it was normal. filled up this morning with 14.2 gallons and reset the trip that was at 405. not bad!

 

if you are really driving this way you need to have it checked out. I am getting 350+ miles off a full tank. It always tells me 330 for the approx range. Best I have done is 375 miles....

what I find interesting is my wife has a 4 banger in her TSX, car is all of a year old, and I am getting better MPG then her car does and we both drive the expressway and deal with the same ****ty traffic. ??? I cant stand the car either!

on avg with my heavy foot I am getting the same as you are in your 250?? your car is rwd isnt it?

I saw something in the news that recently a lot of people have been complaining that the gas mpg has gone down significantly on their cars. Not sure if and where it went as I dont keep up with that kind of stuff....

 

so you have pushed the 400+ ???? very impressive! I have come close but never made it. I run that tank till its got a drop in it

 

WOW most I have gotten on my 350 is about 310!

 

I can get 30.7 mpg with the awd cruising at 65mph on the freeway, but since I do about 70% local and 30% hwy I avg about 25-26mpg and about 350-360 miles a tank, I am sure if I drove all the way down to FL I can push 460+ a tank easily

 

Dont some gas stations dilute their gas?

Maybe you should go to another gas station...
Im sure that would def. effect MPG?

 

I could probably do better, but I drive 80-85mph on the freeway and my last trip from North Carolina to Kentucky averaged 28mpg with a little in town driving (around 1000 miles roundtrip). That's exactly the same as I get going to and from work every day with 80% freeway. I don't go by miles on a tank as there's always a (different) residual left in everyones tank when they fill up.

 

I get about 360 miles with my IS350. I guess that if I use up the reserve so that I run on fumes, I can go up to 400 miles...
