Mine's RWD. But on mostly highway driving, I get between 30-32 MPG tank average. Mixed driving I get around 27 MPG.

Anybody else with a IS250 AWD that can comment on fuel economy? Also, are you using premium, mid-grade, or regular to get your fuel economy.

Thanks!!

I would hope your using premium. The fuel economy numbers for our cars are based on premium fuel.

^^I'll one up you.



By the end of the tank it dropped down to about 33 as well because I had to do some city driving, but it stayed around 38 for a pretty long time. Very happy with the gas mileage!

Still not the worst, there are some IS350 owners driving their cars hard that are barely getting double digit numbers

Dont speed to a red light (amazed how many people do this) like if they are in a hurry to stop

When taking off do it slowly. Cruise when possible. the 33.7 on my display is actually mostly city driving

I see this all the dang time. As soon as the light turns yellow, I let off the gas and let momentum take me to the light. I keep a few car distances between me and the next car, in case they slow down or brake, I cruise to their tail so I don't have to brake. I hate braking.

It's not granny style, it's smart driving.

This.

Sometimes if I am far enough or its a quick light, the green will come back on before I even come to a complete stop.


Enjoy that flight don, watch those episodes man that show is good

That's *exactly* what I get on a road trip, 32.5MG. Pleasantly surprised also, since the EPA figures are 21MPG City, 30MPG Highway. But my city MPG is HORRIBLE lately! I used to get the 21MPG-22MPG in the city, but my last dealership visit to address another problem with the fuel system has caused it to drop at least 20%-25%. I"m baffled, and yes, I changed the air filter and checked the tire pressure.
