Mpg?
Hi,
I just registered to this site to post some questions on GX460. But just curious what MPG you get out of LX570? For GX, some people replied that it can do 20MPG on highway. Maybe people spending $90K-$100K on the car won't care much about MPG?
Thanks.

With my 2016 LX, I got about 15 mpg with mixed driving. I took a long trip during last summer, probably the best around 18 mpg for most highway driving.

I am just under 10,000 miles driven on my 2017 LX with what I would estimate 50% highway miles. Myhas average is 14 MPG overall. That said where I live is very hilly and my HWY average speed would be 75-77 miles an hour.

2016 LX570, I get about 15.5 mpg mixed driving, about 17-20 mph on the highway. It depends on the the speed, 20 is for 65 mph, 17 is for 80 mph. Rotaiva is right, we probably do not care so much about mpg, but I realy hate the tank size and the low range.

the fuel economy is totally dependent on how you drive it. Because it’s heavy, you can get as low as 12mpg driving it like a car. But if you watch the road ahead and anticipate traffic, coast for long periods you can get above 16mpg city. On the highway it is critical to not get on an off the gas as the torque converter won’t lock wasting lots of gas. I have seen 20mpg before by keeping your foot steady. Cruise control isn’t gentle enough. Lots of aussies put in torque converter lockup kits in the LC200 and see 20-25% improvement in mpg. I wish we could get this state side. If you pay attention you will notice that the torque converter is way too slippy in these trucks. Lots of wasted energy and heat cooking your tranny!

On my 2011 LX570 the mpg drops in winter due to the winter fuel blend.
I’m getting about 12.9 mpg in winter with mixed driving. In summer I got about 14-15mpg mixed .
Highway driving I got about 16.5-17.8 mpg @70-85mph in the summer. In winter on the highway I’m getting about 16mpg.

I’m seeing 18 in mixed mode commute on my 2015. Im using premium gas and i always treat my cars with techron, to keep the injector pattern new. I was going to suggest techron, then injector service if techron would not help. Also a check for dragging brakes, stuck calipers, etc...
