Hi, I have reached 30mpg driving my gs430 over last 2500 miles during the trip through Europe few weeks ago. I have notice just about 1mpg difference in consumption when driving between 80 and 110mph. Petrol used 98 and 105 on Aral station in Germany. There was about 40 eurocents difference in the price but I think it wasn't worth the price. On the tank maximum range 380 miles, but it happened once. Usually on the motorway after refilling 350mile on the computer is shown.

Looks good ! Who have you used to tint? What's the price if you don't mind share.

Hi, I am getting about 26 mpg on short runs. When it's cold and very short runs it goes down to 15mpg. Best what Ingot in cold weather approx 6 degrees on the motorway from Derby to London without traffic and almost constant 80mph Imhave reached 38mpg which is very satisfyingtaking into account the mass of the car and engine size. Regards Chris

Hi BarneyTT. Apologise for not replying for so long but I was busy at work and problems with login to forum therefore I had to create new account. To cut the story to minimum, I have asked Lexus Woodford service departament about the cost of exchanging timing belt. After chat with nice lady she came back to me and said that in my GS430 there is no belt! Getting information from parts departament they have said that there is timing belt. What a difference in the information given. Not to think too long I have visited Toyota part depo and ordered parts using VIN number so there was no mistake. Originally quoted approx. £716 for: -timing belt full set including pulleys and new bolt -water pump -engine oil plus filter -coolant extra long life After quick chat to the young fella he 'marked' me in the system as a 'trade' and price dropped to approx. £636 for all. From obvious reason all work wasn't done in Lexus. I have used trusted mechanic. Took him most of the day and charge me £250 for labour work. Full major service plus timing belt in Lexus would cost about £1050. I would love to use Lexus and maintain full service history but having bad experience and lack of knowledge and misleading me as a client I could not risk. What is only left to be done is exchange of gearbox oil and rear diff oil which I am planing in Jan 2017. Kind Rebards Chris
