I averaged 24-26mpg with 50% city/50% highway BUT with just highway.. I can get as high as 30-35mpg with my 350.

I get 21 - 25 depending on the ratio of city to highway. And how much I decide to WOT that tank. My overall average right now is 23.7mpg according to the instrument panel. My gas cubby app on my iPhone says its 23.9 over the last 5500 miles.

35 city/65 highway. I'm getting 26 MPG. Just few months ago I was getting 24 MPG but I changed the spark plugs, rear diff fluid to synthetic and air filter and noticed that improved MPG right away. My car is at 78K miles.

I get about 20.5mpg with all city driving. Driving on the freeway I get about 30mpg. I tried to save more gas by accelerating slower once, but when I do that, I get 18mpg.

He means he drives 35% of the time in the city and 65% of the time on the highway.

Oh im on snow mode 24-7. Keeps my AVG around low 27;s. Tanks usual avg at low 28's.
I might be one of the few owners that shoulda got the 250 ah well. Maybe if it didnt have the stupid mpg display I would drive around like im in my cobra.

I have driven my 07 IS250 12k miles so far and the computer's overall avg is 30.0. My commute is about 80% highway and I can get it to about 32mpg (on the display). Unfortunately, the computer always inflates the mileage by about 1.5mpg as compared to manually calculating it.

That's the percentage of city/hwy driving he does. Those would be more like Prius numbers if they were mpg.
