about the same as you, so hard with toadys gas prices
|
I see about 13 in the city and 17 on the highway with an avg of 15-16. This vehicle is VERY speed dependent with regard to mileage. At 55-65 it gets decent mileage for its size and 4WD. But at 80 it drops off 15-20% easy

LX470 2001 mileage
I also have a 2001 LX with 120,000 miles. I use premium gas. I get around 12.5 around town averaged over multiple tanks of gas. On the highway I get better than 17 if I stay around 65 Mph but at 80 Mph it is closer to 15.
When the car was newer, we tried running a couple of tanks of lower grade gas - 87 and 89. The car ran fine but the mileage went down a little, especially around town. The 87 was the worst, dropped to under 11. Others have said that if you drive for a while on the lower octane gas the ECU will eventually adjust. But the difference in price between premium and regular 87 for a tank of gas (22 gal fill up) here in Houston is only about $4. Running a full tank down to empty (22 gal refill) on premium gets me about 280 miles, on regular around 240. That means I save $4 on the tank but use almost 4 gallons more to get the same miles. So if I pay over $10 more to go 280 miles but save $4 on the tank, I still lose $6 overall. I'm sticking with premium at least around town. |
