Hello mate.

Well it all depends on how you drive and what kind of roads you drive on, there not to bad MPG wise on a motor etc, around town they can drink a fair bit. I normal manage to get around 280 - 300 to a tank around town, i have once got 330miles to a tank. Hope this help.

The IS200 will do about 24-28mpg in town/city driving but on the motorway you can get upto 35mpg.

I normally get 450 miles out of a full tank on a motorway run (at 70mph). The IS200 is not a economical car.

[kahn_v]

and how much is a full tank lol

[kam05]

and how much is a full tank lol

70litres- how much to fill up a tank depends on how much petrol is a litre in your area!

in today's prices 90-95 miles for £20 petrol. All town driving. On motorway can get easily over 110.

I usually get about 370miles to a tank, long distances I get 400+. And i've got a heavy right foot! LOL!

i get the same as kam05 and also drive similar routes and once the warning light comes up its around 450miles. Ive been filing 1/2 tank these days as i feel im getting more mileage out of it but maybe its the placebo effect :D

btw if your going to get a IS200 get one with a styling kit as it will save you money in the long run. ive got the factory fitting and even though i got my car at a bargain for the last 2005 editions (full leather, sat nav and sport spoiler) i really want a TTE rear skirt, front bumper and TRD side skirts :((

think of the IS200 of a very comfortable drive, smooth and the engine built like a tank :)

PS buy a White IS200 and everyone will envy you

if you are worried about fuel expenses then the IS200 is not the car for you! your better off getting a 2.5 litre bmw because it drinks the same amount of petrol as the is200 but its faster! lol

if you just want a nice car to cruise about in then the IS200 IS THE PERFECT CAR!

oh yeh i get about 40miles out of 10 litres of petrol

[LOcKY]

was the 10 litres on your backup fuel?

[MorrIS200]

i get about 40 odd miles to £10.....put £25 in an got around 120miles. i drive reasonably quickly but not all the time and its mainly town driving

[Rez89]

was the 10 litres on your backup fuel?

no i filled up about £11 and got 10 litres of fuel and got 40mpg out of it then the sign came on.

Yeah- that sounds about right- about 430-450 miles is achievable out of a full tank. The quoted range depends on traffic conditions, condition of your tyres etc.

I got 260 miles out of £50 on Thursday/Friday, Cardiff to Birmingham and back, seems pretty poor but it was at quite a quick pace, with a full car and pricey petrol (£1.10!)
