2IS MPG Threads (MERGED master thread)
So what do you mean by 'Hydrogen Fuel Cell'? Do you mean you will mod your IS to be like the Honda FCX Clarity? That will be a big project since you need to solve problems like how to install the tank that store high pressure low temp liquid Hydrogen, and also put in an electric motor and corresponding transmission etc...
2006 IS350 I Currently average 22.5 MPG Mixed, 28 MPG Freeway. But i WILL BE AVERAGING 33.25 MPG Mixed and 40+ MPG City after my Hydrogen Fuel Cell Prototype modification $$$$. Look out for my upcoming thread in about 2-3 Weeks after test phases are complete.
My website will host all data, photos, and test reviews.

I am not sure whether you guys notice that the digital meter reading isn't accurate at all. It is very off.
For instance, the meter read a tank average of 28.x right before I filled up the tank; when I filled up the entire tank, the pump said 14.247 gallons and my trip meter said 360 miles; in order words, the actual mpg should be 25.268 gallon/mile (i.e. 360miles/14.247 gallons). The meter is far off.
Anyone notice that? Or is it just a problem with my meter?

Thanks to my Road Trip iPhone application, I have posted the following MPG after each tank fill.
Tank 1- 18.85
Tank 2- 18.87
Tank 3- 20.09
Tank 4- 19.26
Tank 5- 18.89
Tank 6- 20.83
Tank 7- 21.74
Tank 8- 18.48
Tank 9- 20.14
Average- 19.69, $2.42/Gal, $0.12/mile, 122.22 gal, 2,407 miles since Purchase March 29, 2009.
Big difference coming from a 1997 BMW 540 where I probably average 14-15 MPG.
I drive probably 80% City in Phoenix/Tempe heat.
