So I took my GS350 for it's first long distance trip just a weekend after picking up my car. I took my usual trip to the Bay Area during labor day weekend. I was able to complete a 1200 mile trip. To my surprise (started with 450 on the ODO on my trip) I was achieving fantastic mileage numbers, almost as close to my old 1999 Toyota Solara SE V6 Manual (1MZ-FE 3.0L). According to the trip computer, I was averaging 27-28mpg with a total of 3 people in the car, A/C and averaging 80-85 mph. So far so good, the 2GR-FSE is exceeding my expectations. I can make a tank of gas from SoCal to NorCal without stopping. Mind you I do the old fashioned way of calculating gas mileage (Mileage Driven/Gallons used = MPG).
My previous, 04 IS300 (2JZ-GE 3.0 I-6) was definitely a gas hog in comparison. 23-24mpg tops on the highway with a small 17 gallon tank.
Here's a screen shot of the Trip Computer during trip...

For typical city driving in the land of "would you like silicone or saline for your breast enhancement?", I get about 16 MPG on my GS350. Long drive on the freeway,...29 - 31MPG going 75MPH with the A/C on and 50 lbs in the trunk. A bit better then the 15/27MPG I got with my '05 RL (5 spd auto) and semi-comparable to the 14/30 MPG I got with my '00 Regal GS (4 spd auto).
