For me, the only selling point of the IS 200T is the better economy. But I read one report saying it's the same as the IS 250. If that's the case, then I'd just have my eyes set for the IS 350.

 

I've only had mine a week and only 300 miles so far. Mix of freeway and city and I'm seeing about 21.5MPG. Keep in mind the engine is still "tight" so I expect things will get a bit better but I really don't expect much higher than that in mixed driving. Long distance will get that number higher...I am interested to hear what others are seeing :-)

 

My NX 200t AWD 10k miles, 400 lbs heavier, with fat 265 rubber on all fours and I get the same mileage as my IS 250 AWD about 22.5 mpg mostly city.

This speaks well to the 2L Turbo's efficiency and on the IS with lower weight and better drag, it should be at least 10-15% better.

 

For reference OP, I'm averaging about 23 mpg according to Fuelly with my IS350. I do about 60/40 highway/city.

 

goldengame - that's really good! do u drive in normal mode?

 

Yeah I drive in normal mode. I think it's highly dependent on how you drive though.

 

I always have it on ECO mode and I mix highway/city. This is my weekly log (yes, I make one lol)

 

I get 15.5 mpg on my 350...all street driving and avg since the day I picked the car up (never reset the mpg counter). Horrible.

 

Whats your avg mph? and do you use premium? I drive 5 mi to work on back roads averaging 21mph and get 18 mpg on premium fuel.

 

I used to get around 14-15 driving on mostly eco mode and 90% city driving on my 350. Now that I do about 40highway/60 city I'm seeing around 18.5 mpg.... I think its because we're in traffic all day in California

 

The avg is 15.5 per the tach (which hasn't been reset since I bought the car).

Yes. Premium 91 always.

Socal has traffic almost 24/7 but 15.5 is still pretty ****ty.

 

Yeah that's pretty bad. I just checked mine again this morning and it's actually down to 17.5mpg. But I only average 21mph. lol. i drive my car for like 15 - 20 minutes a day.

 

How much are you pay per gallon? ~$40 average? That's pretty cheap

 

Good thing that you track your spending, but I would give you the MPG freak award ( if it exists).
