Q1. RX330 or RX350? What year?
Q2. FWD or AWD?
Q3. What fuel/octane do you run? 87? 89? 91? 93?
Q4. Tires? Michelin? Goodyear? Bridgestone? Other?
Q5. Is this current with the summer fuel mix or all year long to include the winter fuel mixture?
A person with the earlier 2004 RX330 with AWD, running Bridgestone Alenza tires and 87 octane summer blend fuel would do worse than someone with a newer 2008 RX350 FWD with Michelin tires running 93 winter blend octane. It all adds up.
My experiences with traffic around the DC area, the I-495 loop and the surrounding areas, that it is more stop than go. Your city driving would result in lower MPG than city driving down here in FL.

Thats what I get on the stupid winter blend fuel. I just love how the brainless environmentalist`s make us spend money! The friggin auto`s of today already burn as clean as they can. What the Hell more do they want??

i am getting about 17.7 mpg (90 city, 10 hwy) i also try not to let the rpm go over 2000.
about 6 weeks ago i switched from 91 octane to 87 to see if there were any differences, only ones being a loss of power. MPG's stayed the same.

My 2004 240G (Japan model, 2WD) can get 24.7mpg (80 hwy, 20 city) in my last tank. Currently running about 11km/l, that's nearly 26mpg (90 hwy, 10 city). All in hot summer, air conditioning on all the time.
