I think its a good idea to go see the lexus dealer and have them check the car and the clutch...ect. Something isnt right. I dont believe you have a smaller tank then IS350 does and many threads on here show 400+ miles on the IS250. They will take care of what ever it is and it will be worth it in the long run. Gas isnt getting any cheaper!

Let us know what they tell you...
