UPDATE drove to Oldtrafford to watch the mighty reds thrash Newcastle 6 - 0 yesterday average mpg 40.8 I am guttted it must be the wheels!!! I cant believe there would be so much difference! anyway they will have to go as I do approx 25k per year and get paid by the mile so mpg is king the Lexus dealer must have been right - as I have the basic 220d with 16" wheels you can only go up to 17" from 17 to 18" is ok but not 16 to 18??? the problem is they look fantastic on the car! but I cant afford to lose 2 pence per mile so they have to go! anyone interested adundon@fsmail.net

HI GUYS I have put the original wheels back today Saturday so I will see what happens with the mpg? as a matter of interest when I put the wheels back to back the new alloys were very slightly bigger! anyway lets see what happens, I'll let you know soon as Alan

I have monitored this over the last month including a 270 mile run to Maidstone and back! currently today its at 32mpg which is terrible i am going to put my old wheels on at the weekend and see what happens? if it is the wheels I will be selling them! I cant afford to lose £10 per tankfull as I do 25k per year!!!! so I may be selling a 1 month old set of Lenso elegance 18" alloys with tyres if anyone is interested Alan

hi everyone, new member! IS220D I have just changed my wheels from the OEM 205/55/16 to 225/40/18 unfortunatley my fuel consuption has dropped from averaging 40mpg to 32mpg CAN THIS BE RIGHT? my dealer in Liverpool says its the new wheels thats causing the drop in mpg as they are different ratio,circumference etc but when I priced the wheels the calculator said there would be less than 1% difference in circumference I have had the 5th injector replaced 3 times and have done 37000 miles any comments chaps Alan
