Hi I received an email from lexus last week... "Lexus have launched a service campaign to address a potential concern which may affect your vehicle...the issue concerns the rear wheel arch corrosion" Just thought if people don't get an email it maybe worth a question at your next service I drive a 63 plate 300h SE

Hi Steve, My record in my SE for a 110 mile round trip which I do fairly regularly is 63 mpg, but by the time i've done a few short trips in between it's between 55 and 57 mpg for a tank for me. (per the computer) Whatcar have had some decent fuel results on their real world mpg, however they start from warm and this makes quite a difference on a single trip. i.e. stopping at a filling station then the remainder of the trip is then high 60's had a 70 for a 30 mile trip on a warm start. my car has done 8,000 miles and live in flat lincolnshire so that will make a difference.

I started with 46 mpg (car said 48 mpg), now up to 53 mpg (car said 56 mpg). (I have the SE) I assume the improvement is down to weather warming up and car running in. Been in ECO mostly, with only using sport now and again, driving in eco does make sport feel really quick. Been doing the get up to speed then blip the throttle to settle the car into higher mpg technique I had heard on here. Also been keeping it in electric as some kind of challenge, gives me something to do when driving. I've also found pressing the ev button on each start and doing the first bit in pure electric gives me a better mpg over the trip. I also pumped my tyres to 39 as opposed to the delivery 36 pressures.

Hi, After getting a lot of use from the forum in choosing the car and getting the best out of it, thought I would put my own review on. Had the car since just before Christmas and it has just under 5k miles on the clock. I have an SE in satin silver with parking sensors (didn't go sat nav option), happy with my choice, although the wheels are little small, ride seems fine so I suppose that's the compromise, and my company lease allowance couldn't stretch to anything more than an SE. There have been a few queries re mpg etc. on other posts so this is my main reason of posting as I track mine with an app on my phone which some might find useful. I always brim the fuel tank on fill up so can work out mpg, first few fill ups I was getting between 46-48 mpg. I'm now running at around 52mpg, the car says about 3 mpg more than at fill up, this seems pretty consistent. So have had 50.6 on car and 47.4 at fill up for example. At last fill up I put in just under 55 litres after 624 miles as an example of range. (still 10 litres in tank) I drive a mixture of between single carriageway A roads and short B road trips, mostly cruse around in eco and flick it in sport for overtakes/junctions/roundabouts etc. must admit I do have the engine sound turned up at the moment! Loving the car.
