By the way, my friend's Toyota Avalon trip computer displays the mpg
with 0.1 mpg accuracy. My Lexus GS300 trip computer displays the mpg
with a CONSISTENT 1.5 mpg overage, meaning my actual mpg is exactly
1.5 mpg less than indicated. Just thought this might be interesting.

since purchasing my 2007 RX350 new, I haven't used anything but premium.
if you believe the display, the car gets anywhere from 21-23 mpg, mostly
city driving. since I don't put a lot of miles on the car, I have never
used regular. I don't know about the accuracy of the MPG display.
now approaching 15k miles on odometer.

I have a 2007 Lexus 350 which the dealer and car manual recommends
premium gasoline. Has anyone tried regular or plus or a mixture of
either? I live in the Northern Virginia area and "supposedly" be
blends of gasoline are somewhat different for this metropolitan area.
Appreciate any feedback.

WOW, my BMW 328i with a 6cyliner (in line) gets 18-19mpg around town,
and up to 30mpg on the highway, and the engine is smaller than the RX.
That's extremely GOOD gas mileage. Have you checked that on a trip?
It's easy to do, I get 200+ miles around town on 11 gallons of gas.
Consistent. |

Subtracting 1.5 mpg from my trip computer, I get around 18-21 mpg when
making short trips around town, but as soon as the car has really
warmed up (about 12-15 miles) then the mileage gets fabulous, with the
trip computer registering 32-34 mpg (30.5 - 31.5 actual). The mileage
is a bit less during cold weather, perhaps 1 mpg. And that's for a 3
Liter engine! I never used to get that much out of my prior 4 cyl
Chrysler product! Plus I use regular nowadays. |

wait a minute. You're telling us that you're *averaging* over 30mpg?
The RX400h *averages* 21mpg and it's a hybrid!
Incidentally, I test drove the RX400h and didn't like it *at all*. For
a vehicle that cost over $40k, it barely got better mpg than an
RX350 and it was noisy and cramped and the navigation system was
grainy and discolored and looked like it hadn't been upgraded since
1995.
We had hoped that Lexus would of made a hybrid version of their ES350
(to coincide with Toyota's hybrid Camry) but they never have so last
weekend we traded in my wifes 2000 ES300 for an 07 Hybrid Camry.
Wow..it's an incredible car. We *average* 38mpg in the city and 37
on the highway (better mpg in the city where it's running
predominately on electrics). The navigation system and fit and finish
rivals a Lexus and it was only $28k.
And it's *creepy* quiet. Something you have to be careful about since
pedistrians often won't hear you coming up on them. |

You need to study up. It's not running "predominantly on electrics" at
all. |

Ummmmm.....yes, I own a Prius. Same Hybrid Synergy Drive system as the
Camry.
Study up. It's not running "predominantly on electrics" at all.
Say, somewhere else someone was having a discusson about throwing away
the owner's manual and instead relying on random strangers on the Usenet
to tell him how to maintain his car.
And you would be one of those random strangers, claiming to know things.
Hmmmm. |

Lighten up, Elmo. "Would have" is abbreviated "would've," which is
pronounced "would of."
Surely you must have bigger issues worthy of your attention.

I've killfiled him already. Rarely does he have anything worthwhile to
contribute anyway.
He's lonely and screams for attention. |

One always wonders about those who feel the need to proclaim that
they've killfiled someone.
Apparently, simply doing it is not enough? |

not really, please re-read what I posted. I merely told someone else
what I did to remove the annoyance, not that I was proclaiming to
anyone else (especially the person I KF'd), that I did. |
