I have a '97 and a '96 ES300 and I get 24 in town and 32 on the road on each of them

MCV20

around 660 - 680 km a tank (from Full to gas light on) all highway driven

it sounds funny.. but i got the same mileage from my 15" wheel and 18" wheel...

22-26 depending on driving style. same with both sets of wheels. but i drive hwy 90% of the time.

but thats good for a vehicle approaching 160,000 miles. especially since 91-93 oct runs 3.02-3.12 per gallon.

A/C makes almost no difference to the mileage. Mythbusters on TV took a car and drove it around a track with a full tank until it ran dry, once with the A/C off and one with it on. They said they got maybe 1 less mile when the A/C was on. So feel free to roll up the windows and crank that A/C!!!!

wouldn't it use gas if you were driving in the city? if on the freeway, or a track as they tested, it probably wouldn't hurt mileage too badly. just wondering, i get terrible mileage as it is.

Been getting consistency MPG of 24-26 on my 03 ES with 20% city + 80% higway. I'm on stock wheel and tire and use regular gas. (Tried Plus and Super with similar MPG, no different). Always have my car on auto climate preset to 68, AC automatically kicks in whenever the system needed. I'm happy with the MPG I'm getting.

i get about 15-17 mpg.. all city and half the time i'm in traffic.. i beginning to wonder if thats too low for a 96 es with 130k

not if driving aggressively. (change your oil, your air filter, and take a trip up on the hwy sometime.) also seafoam the car sometime.

22-24 mpg around town, 28-30 on straight out highway (65-75mph).

nothing special, tires at 32, synthetic oil, no stomping it.
