Do you consider your Lexus a gas guzzler?

I think it boils down to perspective and what the driver previously had. For example:
I was approaching 32mpg when I did mostly highway driving. If it's my normal work day, I'm around 22-25mpg on my IS250.
I had a 98 Civic as a daily driver for the past 10 years before I replaced it with my IS250 and if I look at it from that point of view it guzzles a lot of gas compared to my Honda. I used to fill up every 10-14 days; now on an average week, I fill up every 5-8 days.

One of the reasons I purchased my 2007 ES350 was the great gas mileage.
I'm getting between 32 & 36 mpg on the highway, depending upon my speed.
I get 26 mpg in my everyday mixed commuting.
I don't do much strict city driving, but when I do it drops to between 20and 21 mpg.
All on 87 octane.
I consider this excellent economy from a car of this size and 274 hp. Far better than the ES330 it replaces.
