Yes sir the most ive seen on mine is 366 but usually 362 is normal for me.
Edit: What do you normally see, as long as ive had my IS 350 thats about the range I can remember.

My guess is this has something to do with the fuel sensor's in the tank, not sure if they are the same for each model year but hearing that Hoovey2411 is getting 380 on the display is a good 20 miles more than we are seeing and he has a 350 as well. How many miles do you have on that puppy Hoovey2411?

Has nothing to do with fuel sensor. Your driving habit,tires,and keeping up on maintenance. Plus up on the northeast winter to summer fuel change over. I myself get 370 full on seeing zero till next fill up.

it's calculated as an average of your mileage. If you bag on it, it'll be lower. The fact that it changes means its working as it should.

Your car knows how many gallons are in the tank (approx)

Your car knows the mileage you typically, personally, get with the vehicle (at least since you reset the battery last)

It's pretty simple math from there, and pretty clear why it'd differ from one guy to the next since some people with identical cars get quite different MPG based on a myriad of factors.
