Replying to: steve_ (Jun 16, 2006 1:25 pm) I have FWD and 15K miles on the odometer. On a long interstate trip at 78mph I got 25-26 mpg with the cruise control on. around town it varies beteween 18-20 mpg. I only use regular 87 octane.
#6 of 13 My used RX 330 experience so far by mcdaniel4 Jul 28, 2006 (3:58 pm)
Hi. Just bought a 2004 RX 330 Lexus. Just checked the first tank the old fashioned way, dividing the gallons into the miles. I was very disappointed! 14.6mpg around town! I haven't gotten out of town yet, but I traded my Chevy Tahoe mainly for the gas. Now I wonder if I made a mistake. Any thoughts?

I have a 2005 RX330. The lowest I have seen around town is 18mpg. On the interstate with the cruise set between 75 and 80 I routinely average 23.5 mpg. I use a mix of midgrade and regular and the total miles on the vehicle are 32K. Tires are Michelin inflated to 30-32 psig.

Replying to: desertrat5 (Dec 19, 2006 6:18 pm) '04 RX 330 AWD approximately 66k miles - mostly highway driving - using regular gas - 89 Octane - tyy to maintain 75mph on highways - always use cruise whenever possible.   Average annual consumption with combined hwy (80%) and city =   2004 = 20.4 - new car - 90% hwy driving 2005 = 22.0 2006 = 20.2   Hwy driving only avg = 23mpg: City driving avg = 18 mpg   Tires are the Standard Michelin 225/65R/17 inflated with Nitrogen

#10 of 13 RX330 Mileage by garv214 Mar 01, 2007 (1:35 pm)
'04 RX330 AWD with 30K miles. Just took a round-trip drive to Lake Tahoe from the Bay Area (60 mph up/65-70 mph) with minimal traffic. 26 mpg up and 28 mpg back per the trip computer - which I find to be a bit inaccurate compared to miles divided by gallons filled.   Tires are the factory tires inflated with 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, and 1% Argon + misc gasses...

17-18 mpg in suburban/city mix.   27+ mpg highway with cruise at 65 mph.   Remarkably good for such a giant lump.
