Ours is an AWD and lifetime average is at 25.6 now (15k miles on the car). We see a consistent 30+ MPG when we run from Northwest Washington to Eastern Washington (about 400 mile round trip), this includes a mountain pass at over 4k feet. Flatland driving has seen 32+MPG. Great commuter car.

I just topped 13 MPG on a consistent basis. That's with about 99.9% city driving, and an average speed of about 12 MPH. I generally shift around 3000-4000 RPM.

The car feels faster than 204 hp might indicate, although I sometimes wish the car had a little more power for those moments when you have to almost stop, but are still going a little too fast to shift to lower than second gear.

350's seem to be getting good gas mileage if you drive mostly on the highway. I have averaged about 28 mpg doing around 75 mph and 26 mpg for the overall average city & hwy since new. 13k miles.

My dashboard shows ~30 mpg overall. I get about 425 miles per tank. My range usually shows ~450 miles when I first fill up, but a few sprints around town usually pull my average range to about 425 miles. There have been a few tanks where I've done 440+ miles on a single tank.

FYI - Most of my driving is done on the highway in PA.

I'd be doing backflips if I got 338....this car apparently hates all-city, stop and go driving.

With my gas mileage, I should have just gotten that Ram SRT-10 I was thinking about.

I get 28-29 mpg. Spirited city driving, but 70-80% highway cruising at 70-75 mph. Range always displays 435-440 at fillup but realistic range for me is about 420 or so.

Oh this is with an AT.

I get about 20mpg... and I fill up about once every 3 weeks . Hehe, that's because I go to a university and take the bus or bike to school everyday and only drive for like 5 miles every night. So that's roughly 20mpg in the city on a cold engine.

On 300 mile roadtrips, my avg is about 33mpg going 70-75mph.

how come the IS250 manual gets the same mpg as the 350 and the 350 has 100 more ponies?? I always thought the manual gets more than the auto

What are your shift points? What are your cruising gears/speeds/rpms? How many miles do you have on the car?
