Default What is your average MPH?

We have tons of MPG threads but what do you guys average speed wise? I have seen mine fluctuate a little but really seems pretty consistent in the low 30's. Of course, on a long trip it will increase. Mine is 33 mph and my tank mpg average stays 21 or 22 mpg. My guess is I do 30% city driving. Is anyone up in the high 30's or 40's on their average mph?

only had my car 2 yrs, but my avg. speed is usually around 45 and mpg 21 winter and 23 summer. I thought my mpg of 23.6 for the first 6 months was excellent. don't reset very often. first time I tried to reset I had to drive in circles to reset compass. that was strange.

Wow, 45 mph. That's according to the trip computer? You must do tons of highway driving.

36mph. Quite shocking. I thought it was going to be much higher than that.

Mine is around 31 MPH and 21-22 MPG on the trip computer. Even though mostly freeway - it's a slow freeway!!!

big city traffic slows you down. straight flat roads in "cotton country" I work at night so I have the road to myself going to work and coming home all the cars are going the other way. 20 miles to work mostly 75mph. and the same back home. I rechecked to be sure, but 45 avg speed is by the dash computer.

Average MPH 48 / Average MPG 22.6 with Colorado blended fuels, it's been at least a year since I have reset the computer. / 2001 Base will hit 200K, within the next month or so.

Just started splitting time between the LS and the Excursion. The Excursion has been my new project lately.

Bought the LS August 2012 (2nd owner) with 122K / Average 2500 +/- miles per month. I couldn’t have asked for a better car for the commute.

So many positive things to say about the LS that I will bore everyone, except the rust on the doors around the trim…. Lexus, are you watching???? It's an issue!!!!!
