Had a big run on yesterday so i put a full tank in (60litres)
Got home last night without the fuel light on and showing 451 miles, id probably get another 20 mile out of it at least looking at the fuel guage

What type of driving were you doing, urban/rural or a combination?

That seems like really really good mileage.

Tell the truth Chris ............... you hooked onto another car and got towed for at least 200 miles

Did the old Marty McFly skate board trick

Car was in neautral everytime he went down a hill.

mostly "A" road dual carriageway and normal rural "A" road and a small amount of Motorway.

I did

Stoke to Liverpool
Liverpool to Derby
Derby to Thetford (Norfolk)
Thetford to Stoke

All i did was kept away from hard acceleration.

has anyone calculated the MPG yet?

I would have said more, I reckon there's about 10l left when the light comes on.

i think the last check.. i got 3000 miles.
But i am not too worried about fuel eco atm

3000 miles !

yours run on water or something lol

300 I'm sure you mean

Had 350 out of mine and that's the most ever - probably never happen again

Jamie

mmm ... always thought the IS200 had a 70lt tank, whereas the Altezzas only have 60lt?

No 60ltrs
my tank was virtually empty and i put in 59 litres, thats when the pump cut off to say theres no more room

I usually carry on filling until I can see it

J

most pumps wont let you as they cut out

Crikey, you like sailing close to the wind if you filled up with 59 litres in a 60 litre tank. You had about 5 miles tops on normal consumption left before empty!!

Stations only along the road

DON'T PANIC!!

IS200 Fuel tank IS 70 litres - unless it's shrunk in later models.

Check your owners manual and you'll see it specifies in there.
Inside back cover is "GAS STATION INFORMATION".

Mine's 2005 and has a 70 litre fuel tank.

the official brochure reads 60 litres

My 04 IS200 owners manual says 70 litres fuel tank capacity

sounds about right, I regularly get at the very least 370 (town+motorway) to 400 (just motorway) by not being heavy footed and using the cruise control as much as poss
average around 30mpg

its either here or there us it 10 litrs, stil managed a good mileage return

It better be a 70 ltr tank as I very regularly fill up with 65 ltrs of fuel!!

Mine does about the same on a good run i got 452 miles to 60ltrs of fuel worked out at 34.25mpg, I was told by a dealer that when the light comes on you have approx 10ltrs left in the tank not sure how true that is though?

from LOC knowledgebank
[i]Fuel economy is very similar between the two models and the Lexus IS200. The main advantage of the Lexus over the both Altezza models is a 10 litre bigger fuel tank allowing greater range on a tank of fuel.

only averaging 250 miles to my altezza tank

I normally get 280 on £40 and so roughly 420 on £60

Ive had my IS200 a month and so far ive been kipping a strict record of fuel and milage, getting a pretty religous 24.5 mpg. Ive also been filling up on and average of 62 litres per top up, so must be a 70 litre tank.

The better way to judge the mpg is to not measure how many miles you do after you fill up, but to reset the clock when youve filled up, then work out using the cost of how much you fill back up with, its alot easier to judge a full tank than it is an empty one.

i normally get about 340 before light come one

that its about 30 miles a day motorway and rest driving through liverpool

I was delighted to get 400 miles from a tank before I thought it prudent to refill this was based on a trip from Crewe to Southampton and back, all good clear fast road and giving it more right foot than I should. So 450 should be easily done with a little restraint... Town driving seems to be the killer for the IS

Yep the tank is 70ltrs and the light comes on when your down to your last 10ltrs.

I average about 25mpg, which is approx 320miles per 60ltrs [light on]. I dont really aim for high MPG, as its so fun to drive when you rev it, but i know that it can do alot more, as when i often get the fuel light come on, and i drive uber froogle and take it easy.

One evening i ran it for 40miles and it only ate into 4ltrs of the reserve 10ltrs, when i got into the forecourt and started to fill up, only 64ltrs went in, i was shocked.... the last 40 or so miles i was doing a calculated 37-38mpg ...... Having said that, i was probably the slowest off the line, holding up traffic, taxi-driver'esque 5th gear 20mph hehe.

But if it says anything, the car can do alot better then we put it through.

I hope not
I meant 300

I'm the slowest driver in the world, from £65 I get an absolute maxiumum of 290 miles pootling round town and 320-350 on motorway. Lexus have looked at it and said there's no obvious reason for it. In the last 5 weeks I've put in £332 of fuel

i get 319 miles from a full tank and have to fill up every week!

Most of my miles are from short crappy journeys, i also live 12 miles from work (a journey that takes an hour and 10minutes) starting and stopping constantly which add's to the poor consumption.

[color="#000080"][font="Verdana"]Yeah, it's definitely a 70 litre tank, I filled it from empty on the first week I had it. I soon learned that the IS200 drinks like a fish if you push it so I take it steady on the way to work and back now. I travel from Stoke to Derby and back 5 days / wk then Manchester and back twice at the weekend. It's almost entirely dual-carriageway and motorway and I can get 400 miles out of a tank, easy. I can imagine that for those of you that drive mainly around town, you wouldn't manage that much.[/font][/color]

I usually get around 340-360 a tank, but I'm hoping to better that now im doing longer Main road runs.

I think i get better mileage using Shell Vpower......trouble is the cost of filling the tank

I get less than 300 miles on a full tank. I wish i could get more! i feed my car more than i feed myself.
