My new ES350 gives about 23miles/gallon. The driving is mostly on freeway. This is with the mixed driving on the first tank I got it filled from the dealership when bought the car. The display shows 40miles/hr as average speed. So far looks ok. I read on this post folks reporting 27 to 30 miles/gallon with the new car without breaking period of 1000miles. I am not sure about the type of the gas filled from dealership, but would think its to be premium. So far not worried about the lower mileage wondering when would I get the improvement. The car has about 350miles on it.

I have 1000 miles on my ES350. I am doing approx 70% highway and 30% city. My avg is 23.5 miles/gallon with 93 octane gas. The tank avg reading is not accurate. It was showing 25. I guess it takes time to adjust itself. On the highway it seems I am getting 31mpg i.e., as per the trip computer. So far I have not gone on a long road trip to get a realistic number. It would have been nice if there was an overall avg speed reading. The avg speed gets reset every time you turn the vehicle ON/OFF. In my BMW I had the overall avg speed reading which I would reset every time I fill gas. So if my avg speed was 25 mph then I knew for that gas tank I did more city driving and less highway driving. And if it was 45-50mph then I knew I did more highway driving and it would explain the variation in the avg mpg from tank to tank.

I now have 8k miles on my 350, and drive 60/40 highway/city. I'm sorry to say that it's rare anyone passes me on my daily 100 mi roundtrip commute. I get overall 26 mpg driving hard (avg 80-85mph in mountainous freeway),frequently hit 90-100, have been to 125... I dont see much differance with reg vs premium. |

Has anyone gone over 400miles in a single tank? Had 350miles on mine when I filled her up and got in 16 gallons. Guess I had 2 gallons left and that would mean I'd go empty when I hit 394 miles doing 22mpg. My 1996 Camry V6 is doing the same mileage as my ES 350. Heard it gets better as I get more miles on it cause I've got less than a thousand miles on the odometer.

I drive more freeway than city but there's construction on my route, so I am sitting or crawling for at least 30 minutes/15 miles out of 50 every day. Otherwise, I'm doing 55-70 mph. I live in Florida but seldom use the air. |

Replying to: 150mphclub (Apr 24, 2007 1:50 pm) Anyway, even if you use 87 or 93, for 18,000 miles a year (10,000 mixed and 8,000 pure hwy i.e., long trips), the difference is only $200 extra in gas. This car is $40K. $200 extra a year isnt going to break anybody's wallet who is buying a $40K car. |

Had the car for 3 weeks. For the second tankfill, got 25mpg in 50/50 hwy/city combo driving. I am impressed, for a car this size and power to get this kind of mpg.
