Thanks for helpful replies, and kind welcomes. Amazing how evangelical all is200 owners are. Reckon it is time to apply the avian theory - if it talks like a duck, and walks like a duck, and flies like a duck, and looks like a duck - it probably IS a duck. So I'll be paying Lexus a visit soon. Any more consumption experiences?

Greetings ! I need (my wife and grandchildren tell me) a more family-friendly car than my beloved Celica. The is200 (and Lexus, AND this forum) really appeals to me, but I need an average consumption of around 30 mpg. The figures I have ferreted for range from 30 down to 21, and I would appreciate your experiences. Given that I get 30 mpg in my Celica for 50/50 town/country usage, and am neither a boy-racer nor an economy-miser, what do you reckon I will get with an is200 ?
