Hey, I've seen 30 mpg on my IS-F doing 65 mph on a flat stretch of highway for 40 miles. No tailwind either and no hills. I simply kept the sucker in 8th gear and avoided any hard acceleration.

I've filled up at Costco and jumped on the 210 and sailed along at a comfy 72mph, and gone about 25 miles with tank avg reading 40.7. The second I hit any traffic or I hit the streets it plummets to a very respectable 32-34. Went to palm springs and did it again. Pretty sure it's due to a generous estimate by the system, but it brings a very nice smile to my face anyway. I go over 400-425 before I see the E light come on. I now have the 250, but had a 350 before and best I ever did with fueling up and jumping on the freeway was 32mpg. E light would come on at about 325-340.
