Default Fuel Tank Capacity and Gas

Hey guys, great forum. I just bought a 2001 GS 430, I was just wondering if anybody could tell me the fuel tank capacity on the car and how many miles per gallon I should get? Or if not, can someone direct me to a site with this info. Thank you.

Welcome to ClubLexus. Everything is in the owner's manual but I'll help
Tank holds 19.8 gallons of PREMIUM unleaded fuel. I get 16-18 mpg city (I drive very hard) and 20-25 freeway. I say about 260-300 miles a tank.

Luchini -

If your GS does not have an Owner's manual, call the Lexus 800 number (lexus.com), they'll send you a new set in about 4 weeks, and it's FREE.

I am barely squeezing 5km per liter which equates to about 12 miles to the gallon:eek: Gas over here is outrageous, it cost me about 42 bucks to fill up my tank with about 1/4 of tank of gas in it!!!

Will regular gas, vs premium or supreme affect fuel efficiency? Ive noticed on the highway i got the same amount of miles, 340, before the light came on when using regular or premium....

Steve: If I do mostly city driving, I get about 230 miles. Mixed driving, I get around 300. The most I've ever squeezed out of a tank before filling up is 340 on a drive from SF to San Diego.
