ummm...sc400 gets better gas mileage than a sc300. Our 6cyl get some of the crappiest mpg. At least that is the case with the older models

Mine has about about 266k since I bought her 2 months ago. Runs like a champ, no leaks, no burning oil. Change the oil twice already. Still have the v8 pull from the start. . I didn't buy the car for a gas saver, even though I keep telling myself that lol. These motors can go a long way if well maintained.

I get 16mpg in my sc3 and my buddy gets around 20mpg in his sc4. Keys is to keep you foot out of the peddle, but regardless how gentile I am on my peddle the best I've gotten is 16mpg. Car is fully tuned new plugs cap rotor wires new head gasket and head redone....etc....lol
