I'm getting about 22 mpg and that is combined city/highway (40/60) in Sport+. If I leave it in Normal mode, and there is no traffic then I can get an average 33 mpg doing 70, but that is almost impossible to do for any length of time since some idiot will get into an accident and screw up the freeway. The car has 3,560 miles on it now.

15 is way too little.
Im doing 19-20 most of the time. Its fluctates. But I do a two hundred mile highway trip every wednesday so that ups my mpg. If im local i get 19mpg even when I am gunning it. 15 is wayyy to little. If it was 18 id say okay, but 15.... Im using 93 octane
Why cant the tires be rotated?

I don't know why tires can't be rotated - I'm just relying on what the dealer told me. Maybe someone else can enlighten us.

First service was:
25 point check
replace engine oil, filter, gasket
They said tires CANNOT be rotated on this car
It was free...
oh..also got a free massage (no he lol)
As far as my mpg concerns:
I spoke to the Service Consultant and she didn't seem surprised or concerned about the 15 mpg that I've been averaging. She seems to imply that is normal and the sticker mpg is under perfect circumstances (she mentioned California, Ventura highway driving).
After the car was looked at my invoice says: "tech was told by Lexus technical assistance that fuel consumption is accurate" - whatever that means.
She suggests I switch to Premium gas (which I wasn't using) and return if I want my car diagnosed further.
Meanwhile, after my massage, I checked out the sticker which showed 21 mpg combined. My feeling is - ok..so if that's under perfect circumstances, maybe I can get 20..or 19..
ok..even though I'm driving in economy mode..maybe I have a lead foot (I don't)..so 18? 17?
But 15?!!!

My car was delivered with a dealer-provided full tank of gas, which I now believe was regular 87 octane. From that tank I got about 15mpg. As suspected, once I refilled with premium gas my MPG went up to 20-21mpg and has maintained that level ever since.

Update:
After my first tank of premium gas, I got 17 mpg.
Second tank seems to be better (or am I just obsessed with driving to increase the mpg?) Working on 18 or 19.
Should I expect better gas mileage the more I use the premium gas?

Getting 20.5 mpg on ECO mode exclusively
I am running Medium gas exclusively and run car in only ECO mode. Am getting average of 20.5 after 695 total miles driven. Car is plenty peppy enough for mostly city driving in ECO mode, so I have not upped the driving mode yet.
Anyone think that that mileage would increase if I switched to premium fuel?

Hi guys... im from Dubai.. Ive been exclusively driving my RC in normal mode. So far done about 2500 miles and i get about 17MPG. Im using the most premium gas available here. i occasionally switch her from sport mode to eco mode. I can't understand how you guys are getting 22 MPG...

Miles per tank
At the end what matters the most is how many miles per tank are you getting from full to empty (0-5 miles refuel) Im averaging 285-290 miles per tank (driving in granny mode thru the city and only cruise control on highway)...which kinda sucks because I was getting 330-340 per tank on my 15 IS lol
