I have just driven 100 miles motorway driving in my 65 plate IS300h and got 58 mpg and around town I get about 43mpg so I am really pleased with that. Admittedly I don't put my foot down and look at what the hybrid drive is telling me.

Thanks to everyone who helped me sort out the heating, it was exactly as Zotto said in the settings.

Thanks for the reply John, I suspected it may have to be left on to get the heater to warm up, but it seemed strange as every other car I have owned did not require you to do this. The answer to your question I bought it from a dealer and wanted to go hybrid but also wanted a quality car. I have read many reviews on hybrids and Lexus always came near the top for build, economy and quality.

Just picked up a 2015 Lexus IS 300h which is my first Lexus and was wondering if anyone has advice on operating the heater system. Do I have to have the air-conditioning set to Auto to get the heater to warm? I have tried it without the Auto and heater just stays cold. Other cars I have had have not had to have the A/C to heat up the car. I am not sure if I missing something simple so if anyone could help I would be grateful.
