I have owned an RX400h SE since October last year.

My one criticism is the petrol consumption is nowhere near Lexus quoted figure, I get around 31mpg on my journey to and from work and around 28mpg on a motorway journey.

This is still very good for a vehicle of its type, but I do wonder why they don't make a diesel hybrid, surely this would be the true fuel saver.

Hi Bill, I have owned the Lexus hybrid since July of 2005. We are only getting 23-24 mph on the highway and the same in town, so you are doing much better. How do you get such great mileage?

Steve

I have no idea why you are getting such low MPG.

The worst I've had is 27mpg on a run.

If I keep to 60mph I can get 32mpg.

I am in the USA, and it sounds like you are in England. Are you figuring your mileage in miles per hour and miles per gallon as I am? Consumer Reports and all of the auto magazines over here are finding the same reduced mileage that I am getting.

The only thing I dislike about the car is the handling and ride related to the tires. I will need to replace the existing run flat tires in about 5000 more miles, and am looking for an alternative, and you seem to have found one. Can you use the same wheels? What happens with the low pressure indicator?
