Default 2IS MPG Threads (MERGED master thread)

I know it is supposed to be 21/29 but a lot of people have been talking about getting 11-14 MPG. Was wondering if those with the IS 350 can comment on what they are getting. It seems as most are in the break in period so there shouldn't be too many people getting to WOT just yet, so these numbers seem low.

Just thinking out loud here.

It gets about the same mileage as our GS300 AWD, and I can get that up to about 23-24ish combined, but mostly city driving.

you should have it reset when you started driving the car... since who knows what was done those first miles (lots of idle running, acceleration tests, etc)...

Hold the "DISP" button down on the steering wheel. It should clear it out.

Picked it up on the 15th and have been lov'n every moment of it. Not one complaint with the car thus far. The only problem I have is that I get stressed out driving it to places where I could get dinged, like work, shopping and the list goes on.
