With 20% of city drive and 80% of highway drive, I got 27.4 today!
This car has only less than 1000 miles on it, so I will give it couple more tanks of gas and some massage and see if there is a improove! other than that I'm still enjoy the power and handles from this car. Right now I'm practice my foot to get easy on the gas padel and watch the power meter from the instrutment meter or power flow monitor. It is so much fun to drive the car especially on the long trip!

For those RX400h owners. If you are interesting in getting the "Thunderclound Edition"

Grill, the grill will fit perfectly and you can order it from Steve Carson Toyota. Somehow the " L "

emblem will not fit ( RX400h's "L" emblem is slightly larger than the RX330) and you will need

to order it separatly. The emblem costs around 30 dollars with tax. Hopes this help!

Thanks for all your positive comments!

The grill will cost you around $330 dollars including tax and shipping (From steve carson toyota), and another $30 dollars for the emblem (from any dealership. I believe you can find a better price) . so the total will be around $360 to your door. For the installation, you can do it by yorself. it will only take you less than 30 mins.

I drive only in the city and I am getting about 8.5L/100 km. I planned on taking the car on longer trips once I get past the 1600 km break in period.

The suspension settings are very soft but the car seem to bounce around quite a bit or am I the only person who thinks this way?
