Wow WTF you guys get terrible milage. I own a 2014 GS350 RWD with 5000 miles and i get 20mpg stop and go city. 29 mpg pure highway and when I do both city plus highway I get about 25 average. And I dont drive conservatively. I even floored it a few times a day just to hear the beautiful engine sounds. Heck even when I take my GS to the race track I stilll get like 18mpg! You guys engines must be broken or something or you guys have lead foots and full throttle your gs in Manual mode all day. Lol

I have less than 10K miles on my car. Is there a way to "reset" the computer's mileage calculation? As I fully believe that it hasn't been reset in the 28 months that I've owned the car....

Go to the fuel economy screen in the gauge cluster...hold down "DISP" until it resets to zero.

I have a 2014 Luxury RWD.
I have 3,000+ miles on the odometer.
I drive 1/3 on the highway at 80+ mph and 2/3 in suburban areas at around 50 mph.
I use the car's screen to tell me the miles per gallon. I don't compute myself.
In normal mode I've been getting around 24 - 24.5 on average with me pushing it sometimes or driving a little more city than normal.
In sport mode I've been getting 23 - 23.5 on average with me pushing it sometimes.
I decided that the extra 1 mpg or so I get with normal mode is not worth it.
I hate having to turn the **** each time I drive but I've been putting it in sport mode every day now.
I think that the EPA is stating that 23 is the combined average so for me to get around 23.3 while driving in sport mode and pushing it sometimes is pretty good.
I'd be pretty mad if I got anything less.

Me and 5thavenue both live in Tennessee and we both get the same mpg. Both our cars are similarly packaged with same options. So maby its the gas quality here is better? Also note I only use premium gas with 100% Gasoline and 0% ethanol. Alot of gas sold here are 10% ethanol though.

I'm running 91 and the cap says Premium only and 91 is the highest here in CA. Will it hurt the engine if u put regular or mid grade fuel on this car? Just curious cause I don't think the 2GR in ES and Camry, etc requires premium. I know they're not the exact same engine (FE vs FSE), but just curious.

Those computers have very good information to work with. I've never found them to be off by more than about 1/2 mpg. And it's pretty easy to do simple math in your head when you fill up. My other counter to that is to ask you if you have ever checked the accuracy of the odometer.
