Actual Mpg For 1 Tank Of My Ls400

[chrali]

Well just filled up the Lex after my previous max fill to gt an idea of MPG. I wasnt expected miracles its a 4 litre v8 in a heavy car.

I bought the car with the self justification that it would be ok as long as I dont go looning around travelling fast, overtaking, power mode always on etc. Each day I travel 40 miles mostly on dual carriageways approx 85-85 mph, so frankly expected a fuel consumption figure to match.

My 3.2 V6 Vauxhall Monterey 16mpg

My 5.0 BMW v50il 15mpg

My 5.0 Mercedes S500L 17mpg

My 1.6 Scenic (drive approx 10mpg slower) 36mpg

My fast driven Lexus 26 MPG ! !

I think thats outstanding !!!! Particularly as its not been serviced other than an oil change for years (prior to me)!!!!

Scenic will now be handed back next year when half way through HP :)

Thing is the last tank of fuel has been used do all the things I said I wouldnt , thats why Im amazed at the 26MPG !

Thats probably better than my IS200!! Although i'm always to scared to calculate mine.

How much does it cost to fill up and many miles do you get from a tank?

[chrali]

My fill up today was about 10-15 miles after the low fuel light came on at 400 miles.

It cost £69.85 for 70liters @ 96.9

I thought that odd, as I thoght they had 22 gallon tanks. Guess not .

I'll drive this tank with power mode off and see what that does for consumption. Even better I hope :)

I have a Mk 4 and at the speeds you say would expect to get at least 28/30 on mainly dual carriageways.

The LS is very good on fuel (for its size), obviously not so good in town when realistically it will increase its consuption to 18/20. I don't find any difference on fuel in power rather than economy mode.

The tank capacity is 18.5 galls/85 litres.
