FYI after new Spark Plug & Intake Cleaned
Ok Folks, I replaced the spark plug with OEM and cleaned the Throttle Intake. I got approx. 100 miles with 4.45 gallons of Mobile gas. 50/50 Highway/City driving in Socal. Yeahhh 
Filled and Divided method here folks. Was averaging 17-18 mpg combined. The computer was showing 24.8 mpg after 3 minutes of cruising on the freeway @ 76 MPH and above. The mechanic haven't touch the MAF yet. The throttle intake was dirty, not too bad but was dirty. I was there the whole time when the Technician was cleaning it. Also got the tranny flushed with new fluid.

ok thanks. i've read online that the gas tank is 19.8 gallons,, is that correct or is it closer to 19 gallons ?? http://www.vehix.com/car-reviews/199...specifications http://www.edmunds.com/lexus/gs-300/...res-specs.html i'm only concerned because i'm taking a bit of a road trip next week and want to know how much i've got left when my E light comes on.. so 19 or 19.8 ???

Most manufactures aim for exactly this. 3 gallons left when the fuel light turns on. Due to the inaccuracies of most fuel gauges often they miss this mark
