GS350 Poor Gas Mileage
I just bought the LEXUS GS350 3.5 Liter 303 HP. I just completed my first tank of gas and only averaged 15 miles per gallon. The car sticker said 19 to 27 was the average. I baby the car. I do not accelerate quickly. I treat the car like well, not like a hot rod. I am sick over this. I wanted a nice car with a decent return on milage. Will this improve?
Thanks

Yes! Someone else like me. I get about 16mpg. It all depends how you drive. My average is between 16-18.6mpg. They will tell you its a ballpark figure. here in Hawaii, I drive under 5miles to work and the farthest I would drive is to the lexus dealer which is like 20miles away. I was told with that kind of milage, I should consider my freeway milage as city. Which the dealer willl NOT tell you. He'll go by what's on the paperwork.
And its not just Lexus. My older Maxima was the same way. It was supposed to be in the 20's. I average hit 19mpg and before I sold it, it was around 17mpg.

Let me know what your dealer says. Mine told me it was an average figure. I do n't gun my car around the place. Yet even when I was in my break in times, I hit 19-20mpg.
