I seem to recall a configuration for this. I believe you can set it to RPM rather than energy monitor in the settings but I could be mistaken (aside from sport mode of course). I don’t find it with a quick search of the manual however so I would need to sit in it and explore a bit to see if my recollection is accurate.
My second tank yielded me 45.9 mixed and hand calculated, average of 70MPH, love this car. Does anyone know if we have an RPM feature ?

So far my ES300h has averaged 46.5 MPG in the first 2800 miles, but I expect that will improve as the weather cools and the need for air conditioning declines. Of course, it will worsen again as the temperatures continue to drop and the engine has to burn fuel to warm itself and the cabin, but I got the best fuel economy on this car's predecessor, a 2014 Toyota Avalon Hybrid, during spring and autumn.
The current tank is displaying the highest reported economy (51.5 MPG), so I expect that the overall average will jump above 47 MPG on the next refill. Note that I calculate the fuel economy by dividing miles traveled by fuel used, not relying on the car's reported fuel economy, which tends to be a little optimistic. My Fuelly data for this car is here: http://www.fuelly.com/car/lexus/es30.../jayyou/938261
You guys that are reading your MPG need to be reading them at the end of a tank. From full to empty. it's fun to read after a short trip to the store, but doesn't mean much. I'd say 41 mpg without trying, to move a big car around, is pretty good. My CT200h F Sport is rated at around 40 combined I think, and I tend to get 36-38 mpg per tank (indicated) but i do a ton of aggressive stop and go. (405 traffic) I can get 40-42 if i try hard.
I've always wondered what an ES300h (7th gen) gets cause I am low key interested in getting one. So now I know.. low 40s. i'd be happy. it takes a lot of energy to get a big heavy car going from a standstill.

Agreed. I am delighted with the mileage we are getting. I am still only on the second tank and the dash is showing 43.3. From my past experience with Lexus vehicles (including my 2015 ESh) the dash typically reads about 1.5 to 2.0 MPG better than actual calculated mileage at fill up. I calculate every tank by hand so I will soon verify the mileage, but if I’m getting 41 MPG actual, I am very happy for a car this large. This is practically the mileage I was getting with our 2010 Prius, in fact it is rated higher on the highway than I ever achieved with our Prius on the highway. I’m sure the difference with a 2019 Prius is much greater, but still, comparing the vehicle size I am very impressed with our fuel economy.
I haven't cracked 50 MPG average for a whole tank of gas yet but I got so close today that I'm sure it will happen sometime in the next month or so as the need for air conditioning diminishes. On this tank, I drove 512 miles and used 10.255 gallons, for an average of 49.93 MPG.
Through 700 miles of mixed driving, I'm at 43.6. Hope that goes up a little but there is so much stop and go here it's hard to get the MPG up.
Up to 44.2mpg at 1050 total miles. Have never reset the reading and am sure it would be higher on a tank by tank basis vs the entire mile range that it is currently at.
Edit #1: 44.3
Edit #2: 44.4
Edit #3: 46.2 (See post below)
I use the fuelly app to record the miles traveled and the fuel burned, and it calculates the mpg per tank, the overall mpg, and lots of other statistics. To keep track of the current tank while it's in progress, each time I fill up I click on the CLIP button on the History screen bar graph. This starts a new bar on the History screen graph to have the car track the mileage of the new tank of gas without deleting all the history. I'm going to start recording the car's reported fuel economy per tank with the fuelly entries to compare the actual versus estimated values over time.
I calculated a partial tank last week at 45.52 mpg. The overall (never reset) mpg as reported by the car (over 2,000 miles now) is at 46.2 mpg. Wife just returned from a 1,000+ mile road trip.
Much better numbers and am really happy with the mpg!
I have question for you guys, All the mpgs that you are getting is it on ECO mod or Normal mod?
Also do you get better fuel mileage driving if you drive on eco mod in city driving or in HW?

The mileage I reported, 42+, was in ECO mode. The ECO mode has the greatest impact during city driving where there are more opportunities to use the battery. Conversely, city driving is also where it is probably more entertaining to drive in Sport mode.
Well, the hybrids mileage is terrific. There is a learning curve no doubt on the things that will help or lower the mileage. Here is my best - on a highway trip this summer coming back home from Ft. Worth, with a little help with the south wind.
