You should get that, no problem, so long as you don't go silly.

Welcome to LOC.

You should enjoy the RX. Mine is 5 years old and still a great drive.

Keep us updated on your thoughts of the new car.

Having an IS model in the family as well you could save a lot of money on servicing etc. if you went GOLD. It would cover you for both cars.

I get about 19-20 in my daily run to work (short distance but in busy traffic), 27-29 on a good run on the motorway. Just annoying when I fill up with £50 of fuel it says only 275 till it will needs it again :( So sounds not too far from what your used to getting.

I suppose I was getting about 4mpg more out of my BMW 330Ci, but then again, it was lighter and a manual...but was way way way quicker. I drive much more sedately in the RX.

I just bought a new 300 SE-L. Excited :D :D but depressed abnout the fuel efficiency. I was surprised to see no trip computer on such a fancy car. Perhaps they're deliberately keeping it low key ?

[fergy]

definitely a trip computer in the car... just "hidden" within the SATNAV functions..

Read the manual and you'll find it... I don't have SATNAV so mine is real easy to find ;)
