Well said!

Yes, after the break in period you should see some improvement in mileage but very unlikely it will match the second generation RX. If fuel mileage had been my objective I would not have bought an entry level SUV, I would have gone with a sedan. Just enjoy your RX, use the correct fuel, keep tire pressure checked, and replace the air filter as needed.

If it makes you feel any better I have had a new GS V6 loaner now for over a week. Tonight I checked the mpg and it doesn't get any better mpg than our RX. It checked in the low 20's.

I have the AWD and my first tank came in at about 13 mpg. Second was 19 and I have been getting 20 ever since . That is combined type driving. I have verified this with a calculator. It's nice to see that it's accurate. My 4Runner was always 1-2 mpgs off.

Same here; AWD, high teens mpg average during the first 5K miles, now in the low 20's. I can live with it, I didn't shop for mpg anyway. Having said that, I sure would not mind if it got the same kind of mileage as the 04 and 07 RX AWD we had. I thought that would have been the case and the objective with the new 7 gear transmission.

I have about 2300 mi on my 2010 rx350 now. I live in Queens NY, so a lots of stop and go. I got about 12 mpg too. But I guess this is the average mpg for suv. I doubt acura mdx could do better.

After 1 year of mixed driving/almost daily commute, trip computer shows 19 mph and 16.7 mpg overall. I drive through Manhattan traffic twice daily, and average 15-16 mpg weekly. I drive aggressively almost all the time, use manual shifter, cycling 3-4-5, do not use Auto Climate feature, as I find it annoying. In coins, I go through one fill-up weekly, at $43-45 per each for 93 (prefer BP lately). I feel the quality is better than Hess, Exxon, Sunoco, or Shell I tried.

Is the gas that you are putting in your car 100% gas or is it that 10 % ETOH crap ? IT Ethanol hit my truck hard on mpg but saw it go up 1.5mpg on 100% gas

jwilli

Problem is ...... finding 100%!

billy44bo

in and around Mobile all the Chevron stations sell only 100% gas

Mine usually runs around 16-17 mpg in town (I live in a small town without a lot of waiting for lights). On interstates, it is anywhere from 22-26 depending on hills/speed, etc.

If I just leave the computer on without resetting, the composite average is generally around 21.

NOW....if you drive in town and get 15 MPG during a week, and you have only driven about 30 miles....who cares.

I am also getting horrible mileage. I have tried everything but am averaging 11.5 mpg in my daily commute which is half freeway and half city. I think the hwy mileage estimates are about right, but Lexus sure fudged the numbers with this supposed 18 mpg city. I smell a class action lawsuit. Oh, btw, in city alone yesterday (stop and go) I got 9.5 mpg!!

Nice going, everyone. Not a frequent contributor, but avid reader of this forum.
Has anyone looked at how much miles you get when you fill your tank? I get about 330 or something, give or take. It varies from pump to pump, but seems consistent if I use one pump. My question is - do most people get 330+/- miles on a full tank? The rest is on your driving habits. If you are getting more than that, what may be the reason?
