Default Mileage

So the RX-400h has been out for couple of years now, and I was wondering what people's mileage are on their cars. If you could please, vote and post your vehicle year, mileage, and daily mileage driven. Thanks!

I'll start off:

2006
25,947 miles
In CA: 7.5miles daily
Now in WA: 15miles daily

I have a 2006 with 26,500 miles approximately. My daily trip is 16 miles each way. When I received vehicle it had 15,000 miles at 23 months old I put about 11,000 miles on since July 5,2007. My lifetime MPG is 26.1...

Sorry to say, the newness has worn out for me. I drive my RXh, but sometimes it seems bulky. That's why I went out and got an IS. However, with the rising price of gas I started to feel guilty this week and am driving the RXH more. The IS gets about 3 mpg less and requires premium gas so now it depends upon the type of driving I need to do.

Yea, the gas prices are pretty high now. So, lead foot people have to ease it down a bit. (like me ) But, I'm still getting 26.8 when I floor it everytime! lol

Oh yeah. 27/28-29 MPG that we see in the RX vs. the 17/24-25 in the 330xi makes the RX much more attractive to drive to church, home depot, etc.

Does it matter? The 2008 model is no different from the 2008 other than a blue Lexus badge and some color choices. What will really set the next one apart (and is holding the current one back) is the switch from the 3.3L to the DI 3.5L. Better gas mileage, more power and who knows, it might become the RX420h....but that just sounds weird.


However, I still don't object to a more fuel savy version with the Lexus 2.5L V6 for the ICE.

Probably it will matter only when I'll be ready to sell it, a 2007 for sale instead of a 2008.

...and the dealer "explained" to me "the advantage": "you'll be selling a 2007 with low mileage in comparison with the other 2007's"

Wow, sounds like a bad dealership experience. Where did you go to buy your RX?
