23-24 hwy (only have 1800 miles). It should get better as the 3MZ-FE breaks in.

Yes this should be moved from ES to RX forum. ;)

Whewww, not very good right now! I have 500 miles on mine and I took it down to 1 mile left on the info trip computer, when I refilled I put like 18.2 gallons in(Tank size is 19) I was at 295 miles on the trip odometer....so Im getting around 16-17 kind of low if you ask me. I sure hope it improves over time with some more miles...

Im shooting for over 20 consistently

That is pretty low. I just filled up a little over 16 gallons tonight and we were about 340 miles on the trip. The computer showed about 20 miles left to go. From day one I've been getting somewhere between 20-23 miles per gallon and travel between 330-350 miles on the trip before I have to fill up.

i put almost 380 miles on mainly highway and some city driving

I filled up last night after going 352 miles and calculated 20.6 mpg (the computer said 21.6, and is usually one MPG higher than reality). She will take 17.2 gallons when the tank is empty, according to the computer. I purposely left the a/c disabled for this entire tank, to see what it would get.

It often gets 16-18 mpg, if i'm running it with the a/c on.

The best we had was 24mpg when on a mostly highway driven tank.

We replaced the air filter with a K&N also.

The car has 4800 miles.

04 RX330 AWD, 21-22 mixed, 24-26 Hwy @ 70MPH.

mooretorque 09-08-04 11:05 AM

17-18 mpg, mostly wife-driven, in-town miles.

Had mine for a year. Most of my driving is surface streets back and forth to work, and I pretty consistently get 260 miles out of a tank, and around 16-17 MPG. If I'm on the freeway on a road trip. I get 22-24 MPG, as advertised. My city driving is WAY less than advertised, I think.

rx300mm 09-08-04 07:09 PM

My last months trip to Boston from Toronto, 9hr drive, filled my RX300 69 litres (19 gallons) I got over 650km (406 miles).
Driving with full load., average 110 km ph. I thought that was not bad for an SUV (my first :)

WOW, everyone is getting much better gas mileage than I? I do take ot easy too, for one thing it only has 500 miles on it. I hope it picks up a bunch in the comming miles? There is no update ECM programing that I need is there, I will go for a few more tanks and see what happens before I say anything.

What gas does everyone run in there 330's? I know the manual says its ok with 87 octane but it also says you will gain better performance if you run 91 (the good stuff). Im guessing it has a knock sensor that reduces timing if you run the low grade stuff.......

LexusRX330 09-08-04 10:06 PM

Bought a FWD RX330 in June 2003. As of the last fill up, I have 11005.5 miles on the car and put in 475.46 gallons of Chevron premium gas for an average of 23.147 MPG.
