I am in the market for a last generation ES300 and would really appreciate it if some ES300 owners could tell me what they are actually getting in gas milage in a real world setting. Thanks in advance.





P.S. I do know that the EPA ratings are 19/26 for city/highway but I have heard that these numbers arent as correct as you might think.

I am getting around 23 miles per gallon combined Highway/City.
Driving about 70% Hwy/ 30% City.

18-23 depending on how aggressive i drive.

I have an '01 ES, and I've been getting an average of 23.5 mpg (80% city-to-city driving/20% hwy). This is with conventional motor oil in the ES right now. When I had synthetic a while ago, I was getting better fuel mileage by about 1 to 1.5 mpg, under same amount of driving. This proves the case that synthetic oil helps improve your fuel mileage

My 99 ES300 does 22-24mpg avg consistently with 80/20 mixture, no matter what type or grade of gas. Mobil 1. Falken Ziex-512s

17.5 mpg on purely city driving on my 96 ES. it's the worst type possible though, short trips, stop and go on a 50 mph road. basically i turn out of my neighborhood, accelerate to 55, then hit a red light as soon as i hit 55. repeat ad nauseum for 4 miles until i get to my destination.

lol ! that sounds like my commute. I got you beat though. I have 3 lights between my house and work. the total distance is less than .5 of a mile. i never get out of third gear and if i do...you can imagine my mpg rating is really low. But normally its not to bad if i travel from colorado springs to denver with the 93 octane fuel i use.

25 on 90% highway + 10% city with AC mixed in 10% of the time. I use premium grade gas (93 octan) from Chevran.
