Yikes! Is your gas mileage really that bad? I average about 24.2, although I do a fair amount on the freeway. Even on tanks that were mostly city driving, I've never gotten below 21 mpg.

That average looks normal to my 350, I get excited when it gets near 18mpg

5% tint all around, not sure about the film. As you can see thats the avg is 17.5(Which is not bad), not the tank avg. I don't do any freeway driving and prior to taking that picture, i was steppin on the gas on every light. =)

I'm actually glad the '06 doesnt have the fog light indicator. i hate when there are so many lights on in the cluster.

and its not like its hard to tell if the fogs are on.

What's a normal tank avg. for the IS 350 on a 50/50% split? I figured 16-18 MPG is about the norm, which surprised me at first considering the direct-injection V6. ...But I'm sure the loose torque converter is best enjoyed unlocked.


I typically get 14 city / 21 hwy out of my car, and tank averages of 15 MPG since I do mostly city driving and have a heavy right foot.

I get around 18 city / 25 on hwy, but that is considering my car has only 2,000 miles. I heard you can get more after 10,000+???

Um yeah... that's why I have 350 in my name.
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.
