I wouldn't be suprised if the GS400's get 12-15mpg if you're always flooring it, and who knows what the GS430's are getting if you floor it all the time..

gas mileage
I just came back from a highway trip, 410 miles on 17.67 gallons = 23.2 mpg. All but 25 miles in interstate at 70-77 mph. This is the very same mileage I have recorded before. Mixed driving, still getting about 17. Perfectly satisfied.

Normally 20-24 averaged over long periods according to the GS400 NAV computer.
The highest I averaged was 29.7 over 2 tanks and 900 miles in the very fast rural roads of Nevada and in Death Valley. This also included the fasted speed I drove the car by more than 30 MPH so I was quite surprised.
