Hey guys first post here, bought an 06 IS with 10k on the clock about 2 months ago.
Car has recently been serviced in January (basic maintenance)
However, between then and now the car I discovered has been burning wayyy to much fuel.
As in about 180 miles to a tank. My on board computer says I'm averaging 21mpg.
I'am doing STRICTLY city driving.. But that still shouldn't justify this car doing that horrid on gas. My previous car (m3) was getting 180 miles in tank. Any help would be appreciated... thanks guys

I have a 2011 2IS and my sensor tells me I get about 370 miles on a full tank.
Unless your tank is half the size, there's something seriously wrong.

Smoky it is an IS250.
Gville, yes 10k documented miles.
Nima, nope no other symptoms. No smell, leaks etc.
So to reset ECU, just unplug battery for a minute? Thanks guys!

Use a pencil and paper to figure your mileage. Miles driven/gal used = mpg. I think your math is messed up somewhere. You can't get 21 mpg and yet say you are only getting 180 mi to the tank. It does not compute.
