I guess I'm going to have to post a pic. My avg mpg is currently 24.3, my current tank avg is 24.9. This is on an '06 with just under 4k miles.

The gridlock on CA roads must be the cause.
Wow, why are you guys complaining about 17.5 lol, cause I get like 11 even though I drive about half freeway half city.

I think we concluded on an earlier thread that AZ gas is great for mileage. All the AZ guys get much better mileage compared to the CA people. It's great being here in CA. The most expensive gas and the worst for mileage.

Yesterday I paid $3.159 / gallon. And that's relatively cheap compared to other places I've seen.

I bought 91 octane yesterday...had 276 miles on the previous fillup, and it cost $37.26 to fill it. $2.76/gallon. 13.5 gallons. 20.4 mpg. City driving.

That's in a 250 AWD.

I got an 06 IS350 and my ave is 20 mph. doing a 60% HWY and 40 % city. and I still though mine was low.

For those who in the mid or low tens, must be driving with the PWR button on all the time I guess. I haven't try to drive w/ the PWR on for a long period yet, but I will try soon to see how it affects my gas mileage.

Yeah, here in the SF Bay Area suburbs, we're in the mid $3.20's for Chevron, Shell or 76.... and $4 for bridge tolls... nice.
