Replying to: wdugent46321 (Apr 06, 2009 7:31 pm) Don't expect better than 20-22MPG with careful/strict/sole highway cruising/driving and 14-16 for city driving, even less for NYC. |

| I have the indicator set to show how many miles on remaining gas (range). However, when I set the cruise control on this indication disappears. Is this normal? | |

Replying to: tyler70 (Apr 07, 2009 7:54 pm) on my '07 RX. Most of my driving is back and forth to work, which is downtown, and I'm only about six miles from downtown. So there's a lot of stop and start. According to my mpg readout, I've averaged anywhere from 17 to 19 mpg when driving mostly in town, and when I've gone on trips, the mpg readout has gone up as high as 30 mpg, particularly when I'm driving in the Florida Keys(you generally can't go more than 55 mph on U.S. 1, and with it being a mostly single-lane road, sometimes I end up driving at around 45 to 50 miles per hour. But, overall, I'd say as far as highway mileage goes, when I've taken trips, I'm probably averaging 24-25 mpg's. Getting back to driving around my home town, I also always reset the trip computer when I fill up with gas, and it seems when I go to fill up with gas, the trip computer usually gets up to 260 to 269 miles driven.(at this point, the mpg readout usually says I have anywhere from 30 to 50 miles left to empty.) So, consequently, I'm usually not filling up at the pump but every 7 to 10 days. I also have a tendency to forget or keep track that I'm getting low on gas even though I have the miles to empty readout, because I get busy and just keep driving my RX. I've had that readout go as low as 20 miles or more before I remember to stop and put gas in! Anyway, I still enjoy driving this car after two-and-a-half years.

Replying to: md_outback (Apr 08, 2009 5:00 am) and they were the same size tires, 235/55 18's. I also saw an RX with the Bridgestones that appeared to look a little wider than the Eagles on another RX330. I'm not sure if they were Alenzas. For some reason, to me, on the 2009 RX350's, I believe they are all carrying some type of Michelins, but they don't seem to have the low profile appearance of the Goodyear Eagles that were sold on most of the previous model RX's.

Replying to: maximafan (Apr 08, 2009 9:26 pm) I have been very happy with the Bridgestones Dueler Alenzas. I bought them mainly because the Michelin Energy MXV4-S8's that came with the RX were pretty bad on wet roads. Not only are the Bridgestone's great in the wet, they really changed the dry-road handling for the better too. They have much stiffer sidewalls so cornering is stronger and steering feel improved as well. The trade off is a firmer ride, maybe a bit noisier too, but worth it, imo. Let's face it, the RX is no sports car, but these tires actually provide some fun on curves and on/off-ramps. The tread looks more aggressive than the Michelins and that may make them appear a bit wider, but they are the same 235/55x18 size. My Alenzas currently have about 30k miles and look good for at least another 20k. The tirerack currently lists the Alenzas for $159 each and you also get a $100 visa card if you buy 4 (no, I don't work for tirerack.com, but I've been a happy customer for more than 20 years). |
