To the early buyers: What kind of real world MPG are you getting? Replies to this message: neuroguy (May 13, 2006 5:49 pm) cleblanc (May 14, 2006 2:18 am) dreyfus (Sep 18, 2006 4:11 am) larrymit (Sep 25, 2006 5:03 am)

Replying to: tds1 (May 11, 2006 5:53 pm) In just city driving, the dash read-out on MPG has been telling me between 20 and 21. I consider this pretty darn good considering the city EPA spec is 21: ES 350 Specifications Replies to this message: cleblanc (May 14, 2006 2:18 am)

Replying to: neuroguy (May 13, 2006 5:49 pm) I do mostly highway driving (but a lot of traffic sometimes) and have been getting 28 mpg. So I'm happy with that.
#5 of 64 Gas Mileage by dp5 May 29, 2006 (6:02 pm)
I'm getting around 20-21.5 mpg average per tank. I do lots of city driving but I do a fair bit of highway driving, too. I have been using premium gasoline. I was expecting/hoping for better mileage. I am usually a pretty sedate driver but I may be enjoying the acceleration too much. I'm sure that will slow down as the newness wears off. What are you guys seeing in mpg?
#6 of 64 ES350 MGP by iycrra Jun 15, 2006 (1:19 pm)
My wife and I alternate the cars. I'm not sure how her driving habbits are. But we live in LA. Traffic is well needless to say...   City to freeway driving. 65% to 35%. But I'm pleasantly surprised with the MPG. I get avg around 25-26. Better than my old 4-clynd '99 Honda accord.   Currently I'm using 91 octane. I'm giving it a break-in period of 1,000 miles. After that, I'm going with 89 octane. My salesman said, 89 should be fine.
#7 of 64 First Tank Mileage by scman Jun 15, 2006 (2:29 pm)
Have had the car less than a week, and on the first tank of gas (from the dealer)the Average MPG (according to the little digital read out) is 24.6 MPG. I drive the freeways in L.A. which are seldom free-flowing.....
#8 of 64 My ES350 mileage by mldj98 Jun 16, 2006 (4:00 am)
This is my first MPG results: using 91 octane   25 mile one way commute to work 60/40 city/highway stop and go traffic along with some long stretches of open roadway....45-50 mph along those open stretches. AC used more in the afternoon than morning, this is Central Florida.....yesterday 97 degrees, huge humidity!   Traveled 212.7 miles (using trip reading) 7.486 gallons = 28.413 mpg This is actual mileage.....figured the old fashion way. I think my "tank average" reading on the gage cluster was pretty close to reading the same number. I only have 300 miles on the odometer.... just bought it last week so this was my full first week of commuting to work.... If this keeps up....I'm impressed!
#9 of 64 2007 ES350 Fuel by fredvh Jun 16, 2006 (9:32 am)
What does the owner's manual say about recommended fuel for the 2007 ES350?
#10 of 64 es350 mileage by fram_dude Jun 16, 2006 (9:44 am)
owners manual says 91 or higher octane rating. i have driven 170 miles till now...getting 23-24 city, state road (not interstate) combo driving in the boston area. seems good to me. anyone with octane ratings please post your experiences with 89. is it ok with 89 any technical info might be good. does mixing or changing fuels...work?
