I had a fairly long road trip a few weeks ago and managed almost 27mpg on my return trip, and I was averaging 75-85mph. Not "great" (depending on your expectations), but very reasonable in my opinion given the trade-offs (size of vehicle, comfort/luxury, etc). Wife normally hates long road trips but said it flew by, which speaks volumes to the comfort. I see more summer treks coming

WOW! THAT SUCKS! You mine as well be in Sport or Sport+ with mileage like that.
I have noticed the gas mileage stretching, just a bit, as the car breaks in. I'm at around 1300 miles now. I am usually tripped around 60 miles by the time I reach 3/4 tank....I don't typically drive like a grandpa because I live in South Florida and driving like that will get you run over or run off the road down here; however, I am not flooring it either. On this tank (since I last posted here), I have been really babying the pedal and I am still experiencing the same mileage.
On a side note, we are getting worse gas mileage compared to what I got in my '10 535i - and that was a twin turbo v6 motor!
I think we need to, collectively, write letters to Lexus and complain we are not seeing the advertised mileage. I still have my window sticker that says "23 mpg city" and I am not seeing anywhere near that no matter how I drive.
Just my $.02.
Thanks for listening.

On my car I flipped that setting and the auto seat heater dial down ('13) among others.

Eco mode should give u only 1-2 miles difference. U can change the AC settings to full blast in Eco mode with the Carista app too but I think it would defeat the purpose of Eco.

Drove in Eco mode for a day yesterday and got 16-17 MPG, Sport + all day today and got 18 MPG. Da hell?!
