I just purchased a black IS350 2 weeks ago. I have to admit the first 2 days I was pretty heavy on the gas but since then I've been getting around 14-15 MPG according to my display. I purchased the car with 12 miles on it and it has a few hundred now. I was wondering what other people are seeing? I live really close to work and don't drive long distances so I'm sure that contributes in some way.
To give you guys an idea, I drove a WRX before this and only had to fill up around once a month. In the 350 I might have to fill up every week if I keep getting the same mileage. Thats one hell of a difference.

Try resetting your mpg average by holding the Disp button down for a sec. You cannot reset the tank average.

I'm getting about 24mpg tank average, 50/50 city-hiway;
I gas it a bit --- but coast when I see a stop sign or red light way ahead (prevents brake dust too).

Please let your car break in before you start driving hard. I get around 17.5 City, not sure about freeway. I don't even care about the gas, its something you need, so why stress about it???

Gotta admit that highway saves mad gasoline, I can get mine up to 35.4 by driving Highway for two hours. But ya you need to do more high to get a better avg mpg. I got like 10-11 by doing local which blows

with 50/50 city/highway i get a good 20.5-21. i think our gas gauge however really is wrong because close to the e is about 320 miles which means its really conservative with a large reserve or my gauge is messed up.
