Default How many miles after full tank???

Hey guys, how many miles does your GS show after you fill up your tank? Year, model and what type of gas?

I have a 06 GS430 and notice i only get 295 miles after fill up.

You mean the cruising range in the trip computer? About 422 miles after a fill up. Actual range when I reset the trip meter at fillups is usually around 370 miles though. Could probably actually get over 400 miles if I didn't live in the city. This is on an 06 GS300 on either 76 or Chevron @ 91 octane.

Like mysteryan, my computer ('07 GS350 rwd) shows approximately 425 miles after fillup.
However, I've driven from the Phoenix area to Albuquerque between fillups (450+miles) several times, and averaged around 32 mpg. The average is about 34 mpg on the return trip due to the several thousand foot drop in altititude between the two areas.

I usually idle forward and brake instead of gassing it quickly to move a few feet and brake unlike other L.A drivers that are stuck on the freeway. Or... you can take those turns more quickly to conserve forward momentum. =)

Also, the GS300 gets a little better MPG vs the GS350.

It's all driving style. I reckon if I had a GS350 it would be getting around 270.
