Default RX330 Gas Mileage.

Since I'm moving, I've been doing a lot more freeway driving. Before we would get about 19-20MPG and get about 290-320 miles to the tank when the info gauge showed about 15-20 miles left. This was with about 70% city and 30% highway/freeway. This past week I've been doing about 85-90% highway/freeway and getting 24MPG. I can go about 360 miles to the tank with the same 15-20 miles left. I'm actually quite pleased with the gas mileage.

I also was pleasantly surprised by our 330's highway mileage. We just took a trip to New Hampshire, about 4.5-5 hours away. Our average MPG showed 25.1, at least until we hit the first traffic snarl about 3 hours into the trip.

Seems like the city mileage isn't quite as good as my previous car (understandable, since the 330 has a larger engine), but the fuel tank capacity is also a bit smaller, so it seems like I'm stopping for gas more frequently. This is still taking a bit to get used to...especially with gas prices what they are at the moment!

the computer gives me better gas mileage than reality - according to my tripometer I get 20MPG on average - but when I do the math myself I get around 18MPG
