Is it a good daily driver? Whats the mileage for the GS400-430 and is there a big difference between them and the GS300? I am leaning towards the 430 but am just going to use this car to drive... i already have a car with too much money into it...

If you're worried about gas costs, don't buy a GS, buy a Civic Hybrid or Toyota Prius.
You say you already have a car with too much money in it, you mean in mods and stuff? OK, what are you looking for then? If it's just a daily driver that isn't supposed to be a whole lot of fun, just get a Camry or something.

I love my GS4. I usually averaged 21-22 MPG and have gotten close to 25MPG recently on a short 200 miles freeway trip. I am getting better gas mileage than my V6 03 Maxima.

You must drive like a granny to get 21-22 on average unless you drive almost all highway and cruise.

I know they dont get 'the best gas mileage' but i like the looks and need a 4 door car. 20+ mpg is good enough for me. Beats my Saleens mpg. I was just curious because I need a 4 door for work and like the GS the best. Other choices have been 5 series, 7 series, A4, E class benz. I want something big though and think the GS is the choice. Maybe an escalade but those are too played out around here. Thanks guys.

i dont watch MPG as much as I watch miles to a full tank, I usually average bt 285-300 miles to a full tank. That would include city and highway driving (anywhere from 50-100+)

I get 14-15 MPG and thats about 50/50 city/highway. On long trips I've gotten as much as 18MPG.
Honestly, if you have to worry much about gas mileage, you shouldn't own a $50K+ luxury car.

speaking of gas, how big is a GS400 gas tank? I think the manual says 20 gallons, but whenever I fill up, even with the light on empty for about 50 miles, I can only get 15-16 gallons in it. Has anyone noticed how much gas goes in when the tank is empty?
