#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?

Replying to: fram_dude (Jun 16, 2006 9:44 am) I have only a thousand miles on my 2006 but I plan on using mid-grade. A little further down the road I will try premium and see if it makes a difference. I would be interested to hear from other owners and see what their experiences are. From reading Edmunds, a lot of owners are using regular(87). Replies to this message: fram_dude (Jun 23, 2006 10:11 am)

I live in a Chicago suburb and got 21.7 MPG on my first tank which was 100% city driving.
#13 of 64 ES350 Mileage by zekeman1 Jun 16, 2006 (4:42 pm)
Have ~1100 miles on my 350; first tank was premium and all the rest have been regular (87). Getting consistently 25.6 mpg highway/city, but mostly city. I'm pleased.

Replying to: fredvh (Jun 16, 2006 9:53 am) i went by the book (91 or higher) and put 93, does not look like its helping much. i have a feeling that the car is behaving a bit different (for worse) than with the initial tank of gas that came with the delivery. i asked the dealer he said they put midgrade when the deliver the cars. i am going back to midgrade after this and see if the car behaves better.
