That's 12.9 miles per gallon--that is pretty bad! For me, I thought getting 14.7 mpg w/ a heavy foot (running 92 octane supreme) was bad. . . but it sure is fun driving isn't it?

my trip computer shows 22-23 mpg, a lot freeway of freeway driving, but sometimes that doesn't mean much because of southern cali traffic. i'd say 80% of my driving when the freeway is clear is cruising. i like to punch it on the onramps (80-100+), but then taper down as i move in with the flow.

i can get around 350-370 miles per tank. but i usually fill her up at 1/2 way.

I have a 2003 GS430...About 4000 miles on it so far.

In mixed (60% highway, 40% city) driving, I've been getting between 20 and 23.5 mpg, in cool and cold weather with no AC...And driving fairly gently...

i dont drive like a granny...and i get about 25-28 hwy. except for those moments where i like to flex the muscle!

now ppl have said that the gs300 actually gets about the same if not worse, becuase the gs3 has to work harder to get up to cruisin speeds...since the engine is smaller. i had a forum thread about this awhile back..here is the link

That's pretty high for a V8. The exhaust and intake setup must be really giving you great gas mileage. The best I've got was 24 mpg (easy, unobstructed cruise at 75mph on the freeway, no A/C on)--and my car is bone stock.

Mostly city in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Which is why I am not exactly complaining that I still get 5.5km/L hehehe.
