I have a '00 GS 400 - I get 20mpg on average in the city
on the highway i don't know since i don't drive on the highway too often
the pwr button and usin' the e-shift gets the mileage up (not sure if it'll work for everyone but it does for me)

I've been going to downtown on business for the past week. Decided to reset the computer, and I'm getting 14.1 MPG with an average speed of 27 MPH since Monday 
HUGE difference

18 MPG driving in my 98 GS4 driving mostly in the suburbs
Not complaining, since my other car (96 Camry V6) gets about 16 MPG

The potential iof the I6 s limited here in CA due to smog requirements. I don't think the I6 gets more then 2 or 3 mpg more then the V8. But I could be wrong.

and smog? come on now, if you wanna do anything serious to the car, you forget about smog already. first thing you do is find a way to get away with smog.
heck, even an intake on the GS (3 or 4) will make it smog illegal already

BTW, I have a CAI and ecu upgrades on my mini cooper so it's illegal smog wise...Next, reduction pulley.

Dropping in a supercharger or turbo without the corresponding suspension and brake work and tuning won't work.(now we're talking how much)

i can see what you mean by putting turbo and stuff on the car and make it smog illegal though. but with some tweakings (lmw and another shop is working on this), they will pass smog. you just need to go to a place that will just run smog without looking under the hood
