I figured might as well let the ones know that really don't know. Haha. I've been lurking for a while.

 

I just flip through the dash display whenever I go to fill her up.

Whatever the MPG, I am OK with it.

 

On highway cruising at 73 I average 25ish MPG but as soon as I hit those red lights it goes WAY down! But still better fuel economy than my Jaguar F-type V8S.....

 

I would like to know more info on the reflash. Is it worth the $400? Any details would be great..

 

$400???

It is a TSB with Lexus. It is covered under your Lexus warranty and should be free of charge.

 

Combo city/highway, I consistently get 20, no more, no less. I'm happy with that.

 

I typically get around 25-27 mpg depending on the week. I drive around 90 miles a day round trip, mostly all at 55-65 mph.

 

^^^^THIS is what I was thinking, IF you ARE you need to SELL your RCF & get a PRIUS! REALLY! I Dunno though, the FIRST question I asked when I bought my H2 was WHAT KIND OF GAS MILEAGE DOES IT GET! REALLY, IF you Can't afford the gas you Can't afford the vehicle! WHO in the Hell buys a Performance vehicle & worries about the MPG?

 

I kind of feel the same way when I pull up to the pump. I never look at the price of gas, I just fill it up.

However, I do reset/update the tank-o-meter when I fill it up to see an average over time and it's a pretty consistent 19-22 average. When I first got the car, on one long trip to Vegas, I somewhat attempted to maximize the mileage by staying mostly in ECO mode (80MPH with AC on) and averaged 25MPG. It's a cool bragging point that a car this heavy, with that much HP can obtain that number.

 

For me, it is not that I'm worried about mpg. It's part of situation awareness type of thing for me.

I pull up to the gas station and fill up. While doing so I flip through the multifunction dash display and see what's happening. I also pop the hood and check my oil level and do a quick eyeball of various fluid levels. Finally when the pump stops I replace the pump handle back to the pump and put the gas cap back on the car. With the hood still up I start the car and walk to the front of the car and listen for anything unusual. Then I close the hood and contine my walk around the car and check for anything unusual.

It may seem it would take a long time to do all that, but in actual practice, it only takes minutes.

Obviously if you try to do this at some places such as a Costco gas station in SoCal where there is usually a long line waiting, you will have some nasty stares. But my RCF is in the middle of nowhere in MS no one cares and there is NO LINE WAITING.

 

I did a test last week and it was very very hard to accomplish but I drove the whole week in "Normal" mode and drove like a "normal" person lol... my commute is about 60 miles a day, I'd say about 80% highway and 20% city and in normal mode I was able to get 26 mpg average for the whole tank. If I remember correctly I was able to get 360+ miles out of one gas tank. I may have used Sport+ a couple times for a brief moment... Then I went back to my normal, mostly Sport+ and I usually get around 18 mpg and drive semi aggressive for the most part.

 

My average around town is about 21 to 23 but on long drives I get about 29, in ECO mode and a very light foot. I want to break 30 but have yet to do so.
