Default How many miles do you guys do per full tank?

I was curious to know what all the other members were getting in a full tank.

I have filled my gas tank 3 times since, I purchased my IS which was 01/31/06 and have noticed on a full tank I do an average of 250 Miles before I get the gas light.

Please also state if you drive mostly with the a/c on or windows down or 50/50.

In my case I drive 75% a/c on and 25% windows down.

And of course state how you drive, aggressive, casual etc

Also if you have IS 250/350

In my case, I am referring to mines which is a IS350

I just filled the tank this morning at 307 miles. (Calculated mileage, not from the trip computer, was 20.7 this tank) Generally speaking, the light comes on at just shy of 300 miles. It's in the 40s here, so I guess I don't have to answer the question about the A/C and windows. I have an IS350, and let's just say I make use of the power on a regular basis.

As I've said in earlier threads, the number one influence on my mileage, way more than driving style, is the number of short trips I make.

My IS350 got 300 miles a tank (50% LA traffic, 50% everywhere else) for the first 900 miles. I am now getting a little more; about 330 miles a tank.

I'm anywhere between 300 to 380 miles per tank. This is on an IS 250 AWD. The numbers are heavily dependent on stop-and-go traffic. I can easily go over 400 miles a tank if I could cruise over 60 MPH for an extended period of time.

Cheers,
Kermee

I can get about 340 to 360 on 60/40 hwy/cty. Not bad for a very powerfull V6.

IS 350. I am only getting 15.5-16 mpg (from actual tank and computer. the computer is accurate, i did 5 tanks and i got the same result). So about 210 miles for 13 gallons.
