About 3000 miles on my IS-350. It gets 18-19 mpg with 100% city.

On just hwy, it gets about 26 MPG at 75 MPH.

350, 90% city driving, average 20 mpg. Has ANYONE gotten NEAR 28mph with hwy driving? I'm beginning to think the gas mileage rating for hwy on the sticker MUST be a lie!

Gas mileage on the sticker is never realistic.

IS250 MT, 2500 miles, 80% Hwy, 20% City.

During break-in period: 26 MPG, 390 miles per tank

after break in, 29.7 MPG, 435 miles per tank

I'm very happy with the fuel economy of this car. Much better than my (traded) BMW

regards,

Joel
