Hi I'm thinking of buying a new RX and would like to know what folk actually get to the gallon. The spec says; Urban 16.7 ; Extra Urban 30.1 ; Combined 23.2. What do you actually experience? 1. cruising at 85mph 2. cruising at 70mph 3. around town 4. journey with m/way, A roads, town etc 5. average mpg overall Any experience good or bad would be appreciated, you may swing my decision one way or the other. As I do 20K miles a year I don't want to spend half my life at a fuel pump and drive at 56mph everywhere. Thanks

Can anyone help with their experience with an RX300 SE in snow? I'm about to purchase a new RX but would like some advise on its capability in snow. I live on a residential road (ie tarmac) which is very steep with a double bend. I have to climb the hill to get onto a main road. In winter it becomes a problem for many cars to climb the hill in snow/compact snow/ ice etc. The road is not gritted so I need the RX to get me up the hill. A Freelander and Volvo XC90 seem to climb it without too much trouble. The RX SE has Summer tyres ie Dunlop SP Sport 270 235/55 R 18 (which is confirmed by Dunlop), where as both 4x4 above have All Season tyres. I would appreciate any experinces you can share. Thanks
