AWD, trip length, temparture, driving habits, tire pressure and proper maintenance will play a big role in gas mileage. I drive 4 miles to work, go home for lunch and pick up my kid in the afternoon, all under 5 miles each trip. That will kill mileage fast. My highway/city ratio is like 10/90.
The winter gas around here usually kills milage by 1 or 2 MPG also. Thank god they just switch to summer gas. I saw an instant 1.5 MPG jump the last 2 tank full.

Here is a good article about winter and summer gas in the northern states. Basically what its telling you is that winter gas have less power and gets worst gas mileage:

350-360 mostly city on a 06 GS300. Could probably go over 400 if it was mostly highway and if there wasn't so much traffic here in Los Angeles. Never really take it on long trips yet.

around 350 per tank during the work week. I once got 425 out of a full tank, but that was pure highway from LA to AZ, just cruising. My ride can get 27 mpg on the open highway.

when i fill up gas, it goes to 16.7 gallon, that was the max i have gotten (after going for 490 miles). so that means i still have about 2 gallons of gas

This is not fair i get only 280-290 miles for a tank. I have the 2008 AWD 350. That not fair that the 460 does better than mine. I am going to definitely look at intakes to improve this.

Honestly, Intake system really doesn't help THAT much. I guess every little bit helps? But then again, maybe cause every time I get an intake system (used to have Honda's), I always pretend I'm a speed racer. lol.
