F-sport 14 mpg expectations?
#46
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.
Currently:
IS, GS, LS, RXh, GX, LX require premium
CT, ES, RX regular ok

We do pretty much drive them the same. We both commute from the same place to offices about 4 blocks from each other 20 miles away. There are times I drive the Jeep and she drives the Lexus. We drive the same trips at several points during the year, sometimes we drive the Lexus and sometimes the Jeep, I always drive.

I just report my experience. Please find someone else to attack.

I am with you buddy. Everyone should take SW13GS comment with a grain of salt. I am getting factory spec mpg and you are getting it too even 5thavenue another forum member is getting advertised mpg. We are simply reporting the facts and this info will help this car forum community figure out why so many people get bad mpg and so few get good mpg. I feel that some gs' s may have some defects during manufacturing or those members just drive there gs' s really hard. I think some people are just jealous we are getting good mpgs so dont worry about his comment.

I believe SW13GS, I mean its very much possible. SO many things can effect the MPG, quality of gasoline, altitude, driving habits, How much do you really fill up v.s what is shown (some gas station owners fk with that) , tires, etc...
I remember back some years ago there was a Lawsuit against Honda Civic I think, they made it looks like you drive more, so for every 1 mile you drive it would show like 1.2mi on the odometer, it was actually something like 6,500 feet, instead of 5,280. Those thing can be manipulated. I switched tires on my Acura, went from Michelin to Toyo, my MPG improved right away by 2-3mgp
Here is another Lawsuit

Yes really.
FWIW, I have yet to see the computer's "since fillup" be more than 0.2 MPG off the actual calculated value.

... and temperature, length of trip, traffic, all of which killed me this winter. But no different than other cars that also get terrible mileage when it's -20 and only driving for 5 minutes in city traffic. I think the stock price of Shell went up every time I pressed the start button.

You have to understand that most people do not have access to fuel that is not 10% ethanol...I don't...and most people are still coming off winter blend fuels which reduce MPG.
Take my comment with a grain of salt? I'm the only one who posted pictures of my MPG readouts and mileage...and my experience mirrors the majority of others here. I don't think its my comments that should be taken with a grain of salt. You guys with mileage over 20 are the outliers, not those of us with mileage under 20.
My car is not driven hard, its driven normally...and I never use sport mode. I've had 6 Lexus vehicles, including two ES's and two LS's. All of them got better mileage than the GS. The V8 LS actually gets surprisingly good mileage, as you know.

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've been filling up at Pilot.
This morning my average in sport mode this week is showing 23.8
