< 1000 miles on mine and just finished a trip that got 34 mpg (constant 65 - 75 mph cruise control setting in fairly flat terrain). I was pretty impressed with that.

I guess I still prefer the old fashioned method of calculating mpg. On my road trip this weekend, the car said I got 35 mpg, the pencil says 32.5.
70 mph, A/C on lowest fan setting, and outside temperature about 90. Lexus site says 32 mpg so not bad. About 475 miles total. I'm hoping to break 500 this winter

I manually calculate MPG on nearly every tank, and I consistantly acheieve between .5 and 1.5 MPG better than the trip computer estimates.
I'm seeing about 21 MPG on the trip computer, 22 MPG actual, in suburban driving. Even in hot summer weather, I find that using the car for lots of short trips - even with a feather foot on the gas pedal, kills my MPG more than a heavier throttle foot on longer trips.

I get 20-21, at about 95% city. I'm tired of being obsessed with it, I took that display off and just started drvinig the car, what's the point of having my IS350 if I try to save gas by driving it like a Kia?

Update on my MPG: Lifetime MPG is 30.1 MPG just over 2000miles. 36 MPG a tank with the AC off, 34 MPG a tank with it on pretty consistantly. Mostly highway driving 80% with the cruise set at 72 mph. 80mph gets 28 mpg. A few 0-60 gallops toasting some Civics (not the new Si of Course).
