I typically get 25 to 26 on the Interstates (70 to 75 mph). But that drops to 18 in town. I have never had a car with such different results. (07 LS460). Wonderful road car.

Some people think Is350 had bad gas milage. Depend on how you drive.

Absolutely! I get about that same MPG. Just note the calculator is a little off, you could be getting better results. I recently took a trip up north (from SoCal) and just hit cruise control a little over 70mph... Made it in one tank too!

The in-car gauge is not accurate guys. You must use the pump and odometer method. I use an app called Fuelly that is very handy for this.



My personal best for a tank of fuel is 30.5 MPG (7.7L/100km) with no tailwind or drafting.
