service and fuel

[Mitch]

how much does servicing cost for a lexus is200 SE. jus wondering. and how much does it cost 2 fill the tank up with petrol at todays uk (rip-off) prices? also how many miles do u get out of it b 4 empty:smug:

[TonyGoose]

My SE had it's first service (10000mls) couple of weeks back. Cost was about 85quid inc vat. Also had a 4 wheel alignment which was an additional 30.

You're looking at about 45quid to fill up with normal unleaded when the guage is a bit below 1/4 level ... put in about 55-60 litres. For this, i get around 350 miles of mostly short runs + another 100 or so if i'm doing some longer journeys.

At the end of the day, this'll depend alot on how you drive.

Cost for 20,000 mile service on my last car IS200 Se was £210. This was for standard service as it didn'y need anything in addition to routine.

Hope this helps.

I filled up from virtually empty

on Monday

I put Shell Optimax in at 76.9p per litre.Right to the top was about 60-61 litres costing me around £47.00

That normally lasts me knocking around town about 350-400 miles depending how I drive it

[Chris.S]

A 20,000 mile service providing you don't need anything extra will cost you about £150

I struggle to get much over 300 miles out of a tank on my 60 mile round trip to/from work which combines town, dual carriage way and motorway driving (which is about 23-24 mpg). On a long motorway trip I get nearer 400 miles, but I don't think I've ever hit over 400 miles from a tank.

This is most likely due to my heavy right foot.

An interim service (10k) is "about" £100 and a full (20k) "about" double that.

Does depend on where you go though and if there are any "extra's"

My best range from a tankfull was 470 miles and it took 67 litres (hey, I could have got another 20 miles out of it!!).

But then I'm quite light-footed and I always run it til it's on vapour ;)

How many miles do you normally get after the petrol light comes on?

Between 40 and 60 depending on how hard I'm driving and how "lucky" I feel :P

Wow, under £100 for 10k service and 76.9p for Optimax! U guys are lucky.

Was charged £165 for 10k service the other day and it costs me 79.9 for optimax, here in C. London. Service was top notch though.

I get around 26-27mpg on C.london, then medium speed A roads, then M ways. Ricky, I'm surprised u only get 23-24mpg, looks too low, tyre-pressure? Need some adjusting to engine? What fuel do you use. I think I am getting better mpg now that I have changed from 95RON BP ULSP to Optimax.

Fcuking crazy driver when i had my IS auto se all i did was around town driving and i was getting about 15-20 mpg sh*t i need to get gas or i could lose a few stone i supose:?:

[ricky_is200]

I nearly always use Optimax, but if not always Super unleaded. Over 50,000 miles its been pretty much the same so I don't think its a tyre or tuning problem.

As most of the power is above 4500rpm (for those with new cars you'll experience that soon!) I do tend to accelerate hard and to high revs which is probably why I get crap mpg. One day I should try driving it more sedately.

I got caught low on fuel the other day and ended up filling up in a supermarket. The petrol maybe slightly cheaper but performance isn't as good as the Optimax. Usually costs me about £47 for a full tank and I usually do about 350 miles on that.
