You are in the Lexus IS Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
Here's my question to other IS250RWD owners, I'd like to know what kind of MPG they are getting from them. At this point I am very disappointed from what I've gotten. After a week of having this car an average of only 23 MPG!!  which it is pretty poor as the window sticker claims 24/32. I hope somebody here has any input about this. Ok I need to clarify that I am a conservative driver.

Replying to: viliv (Nov 15, 2005 7:13 pm)  Is that mostly or all city driving? Yeah the EPA rating on the Auto RWD is suppose to be one of the draws of the car but if it's not living up to it.... It's close though, unless that 23 MPG has a lot of highway driving. Are you calculating it or looking at the trip computer reading?

Replying to: wco81 (Nov 15, 2005 7:23 pm) I live in Miami (bad traffic), so yes mostly city driving with some expressway here and there, but is there suppose to be any difference between my calculation and the computer reading?  what's the average you're getting from yours? nyccarguy says something about the engine being "green" after only a week of driving... let's see... today the computer showed 24 MPG avrg after a busy day in traffic; maybe I need to be a little patient with this baby. |

I tested a RWD IS250 today, and now I'm wondering what the REAL gas mileage is. Cmon, owners, lets hear your stories. The window sticker says 25-32, I seem to remember, but I can't help wondering what the reality is. Thanks.

| Responding to an earlier post. My first fill up was 24MPG (trip computer was right on).... this was about 50% hwy / 50% city. I was amazed at getting this good of mileage on the first tank for an AWD car. (My previous car, a Protege5, got about the same mpg and it is much smaller, lighter.) | |

What gas mileage are owner's of the AWD version of the IS getting ?? Any difference in winter driving vs. warmer weather ??

Replying to: toydriver (May 03, 2006 9:29 am) Hi, I've had my IS250 AWD for about 3 weeks. I'm getting 26-27 MPG on a tank of gas. I'm at about 75% freeway miles. I use the sports mode quite a bit during city driving. Once I get up to speed on the freeway I throw it into auto mode. Any difference in winter driving vs. warmer weather ?? Can't answer this one yet  Sorry.
