Default Mileage and Range on ES350

What mileage and range are u getting?
I have set the meter to start at each trip and got really good around 24 mpg mixed bust since last few days it has dropped down to 19 .. possibly due to winter??
Range has also suffered, now showing under 275

do you remote start? That will impact it somewhat. Ive been getting around 24 on my daily commute and 30+ on straight highway runs.

Colder weather and no or limited highway miles has knocked my mileage for a loop. We're averaging around 30F for highs and 10-15 for lows right now with snow-covered roads so the Traction Control is getting a workout as well. Might have to take a cross-continent run this coming summer to get the average back up.

Good responses, keep a close eye on tire air pressure as well, changes in ambient air temps will lower tire pressure, which will increase rolling resistance, and lower gas mileage too.

I have set the mpg meter to reset for each trip, here are my findings:
1. It starts willow mpg like 3-4 and increases as the engine warms up in about 2miles drive
2. Stop and go severely affect mpg as expected
3. letting the foot off the gas pedal brings back the gree echo sign on ..

Now regarding the range, my older 2007 ES350 has a 18.5 gal and each fill would give me close to 310-320 miles.
Current 2019 es350 has a 15.5 gal, a much smaller tank giving a range of 225-250 miles, not sure why they did that!
