You don't buy a Lexus for its economy, you buy it for its luxuries (Luxury Exports to the US)......

Haha - I needed counselling after my first fill up

[Chris.S]

if its brand new you will find its has a higher fuel consumption. New cars always do until the have loosened up over a few thousand miles

exactly!

Driving with alot of boost - 170 miles to £50 of fuel

Driving with no boost - 280 miles to £50 of fuel

I prefer leaving it parked up though :P

Really... change gear before 3k, and use the accelerator pedal as though its an eggshell... you'll save fuel alright..

Blue is a nice shade on Lexus. You say scuffed, did they take the paint off or was it just a paint indent mark? Reason I ask as my rear bumber is scuffed big time! Bad lcuk about the b :tsktsk: d who didnt stop!

just after i got mine i drove from basingstoke to glasgow and chowed down on nearly 100 litres of petrol, but an adjustment in driving style ment i got back, using just a tank, (486 miles) but maybe thats cause its all down hill :D its worth the cost for the fun when you find a good road to ragg it along in phsyco mode, whoo hoo, plus my misssus hates the fact that i use my right foot as a micro switch, bury that mpg needle in the 0 area you wont mind filling up as much then when you have a huge big grin on your boat race :D

That's what I get in my IS300 on my daily commute of 20 miles each way.

I get into the 30's on a long motorway run, neither of those are hanging around either.

If you are getting 400 to a tank then you are doing well, I normally get 350 and that's about 26mpg.

Driven several IS200s recently. First one was less than 2000 miles and today's had 15000+. Couldn't believe the difference - older one was free revving, smooth, quieter and used less petrol.

When I can afford to fill the thing up to the brim, 500 miles is no problem....

Hi all,

You are not going to beleive this but I'm quite chuffed with MPG I'm getting out of my IS200se. Getting around 30MPG, used to have a Rover 420 and that done less...! Getting about 100 more miles out of the same cash.
