WHAT?!?! 15 MPG?!?!
I would be satisfied for that gas mileage LOL living here in Brooklyn, gas mileage for my GS400 is about 10-12 miles per gallon. And NO its not only my car, from full, doing nothing but city driving I get about 200-220 miles outta the tank.
EVERYONE I know out here with a GS400/430 or LS400/430 gets the SAME sucky gas mileage. Matter fact I know GS300's get just about the same also.
What city do you live or drive in?
But seriously, 15 MPG aint that far off from the EPA estimate 17-18 MPG if you consider the fact that MOST cars don't get the estimated MPG.
If you feel that it's misfiring, check it out, though

I drive every single day on queens blvd and in NYC. Probably 80/city 20/highway, percent wise. At around 60+ dollars a tank/week i might have to look into a diesel...

you try getting 4000lbs up to 35mph and then stopping in a half mile (repeat 30 times a day) then we can understand why it get this mileage... I get 340mi to the tank (till the light comes on) and i do 65 mi a day 50% city. I have a K&N and Dynomax super turbo mufflers. I've gotten 400mi on the highway with the entire family in the car and luggage.

I have a 2000 GS3 that has a k&n filter and I bought a ebay intake and cut it to fit after the MAS sensor to TB.
I get 360 mile to a tank in the city(19 MPG average) and I get 400-430(22-23 MPG average) to a tank all hwy.
My spark plugs need replacing so I am hoping I will do even better. I also have not checked since replacing my castor bushing but I have a feeling with how my tires were toed out it was affecting my fuel economy to some degree.

This is all HWY. I can usually go another 50 miles before having to worry about running out of gas when the light comes on.
The light came on 2 miles prior. I cleaned my filthy K&N filter before I left. My average increased 0.74 mpg
