Default Lexus MPG

Fun thread to see how far your car could go with a full tank.
2007 Lexus LX 470
Pure highway: 344 miles @ 19.1 gallon. About 18mpg, not too bad.

My 2016 es 350 gets terrible mileage but if it's whatever. In the city i get nothing more than 12. And highway between 20-30 depending how long the trip is. My Range shows on a full tank 286 but I can get easily 450-500

lexus mpg was good 10 years ago, but now with competitors all with turbos, lexus are just ok i think.

on our 2015 gs350 and 2016 gs350, i am getting 20-22mpg
on our 2008 gx470, we were lucky to get 14mpg
the is200t loaner i am driving now it's also at very sad 22mpg...

this is with our normal driving habit, not even pushing the cars hard.

by comparison our 2016 gl550 is getting 16mpg, that's with such a heavy car and tons more power

Yep. My GS only gets 18-20 with my normal commute. Longer trips on the highways get me in the 22-23 range

For the SC, maybe could risk going 420 to 440 miles on a full tank.... (highway, of course).

For the LS430, can take that one to just over 500 miles on a long trip.....

The LS460 is hard to say.... We have not yet taken that out on a long trip to assess.... Around town it is a poultry 18-19 MPG so 400 is likely the max..... (maybe 450 on a trip.... I am sure there are more experienced 460 owners that can share...)

We are on our second tank. 2017 GX460. A mountain trips of about 200 miles roundtrip. then all short drives around town. ~ 600 miles so far, showing 13 mpg on the computer.
About what I expected around town, however the highway was a little lower. but its high mountain passes, steep grades etc.

With our 2010 RX450h, city driving gives mid to high 20's. MPG down in the mid-teens if all the city trips are short and the engine is always cold.

On the highway, 30mpg if speeds are moderate, 26 if we are pushing into the 70's.

A full tank is 17 gallons.

We had a '08 GX470 and it got on average 18-19 mpg and on long trips with mostly highways I could get 23mpg. Our 460 is disappointingly worse as it gets on average 15-17mpg. This winter I was averaging about 14 mpg, never had it that low on the 470. Doesn't make a lot of sense why the difference.

My IS350 gets terrible gas mileage and I don't drive aggressively and mostly in eco mode. I get between 18-19 mpg. My old LS460 and LS600 both got on average about 20-23 mpg.
