On average, I would say I get 18.7 or so MPG. That's where mine was prior to the road trips I went on this weekend.
I went up to the mountains with my friend and also went on a 4-hour drive down to my old hometown to visit family. On those trips combined, I averaged about 25 MPG - just the second part, I averaged 27 MPG. Not too shabby.
I'm jelly over your beautiful mountains! My area of CA is pure ****, I call it the ******* of California lol. Or the nicer term, the armpit of CA. Hotter than the devil's anus and smells just as bad when the wind picks up the dairies.
And I agree, drive those cars! I just saw a 20 year old Corvette for sale with like 4100 miles on it! But of course it has had several leaky seals replaces because it was used so little everything dried out. A car that sits is worse off sometimes.
LOL @ the most vivid description I’ve read in awhile! 😂😂
Yeah we are super-duper lucky to have so many mountain sweeps. The tail of the dragon is only 3 hours away and if I could use a transporter to get you guys here…I would!

Speed Therapy.
Sound Therapy.
Right-freaking-on…owners know the deal. Certain YT reviewers, not-so-much.
I just realized how silly I look. I posted my fuel mileage, not my odometer.
I am at a little over 4000 miles in about 5 months of ownership.
We still love you
I got like 27 mpg on my recent ~280 mile trip which was about 80% mountain driving. This car isn't the best at anything (performance, mileage, size, etc), but it's really good at everything. Well, probably the best at reliability
I'm at 965 miles after 5 weeks of ownership. I did have a civic as a daily, but I sold it as it was starting to show its age through constant maintenance issues. Hoping to have another daily soon lol. I dont really want to run my mileage too high.
Purchased my 2023 IS500 in Nov.2022 only have 2750 miles on the odometer.
Sweet. Digging the low mileage. Don't know how you guys are doing it. I try, but this thing is so fun to drive. Have not had this much fun driving since high school!!
Mine has low miles due to the big winter we had. It sat for months before I could drive it. Not to mention I have a Acura TLX Type S as my daily. Which helps keep the miles low on the IS500.
