hm this is wierd...
before i would average 17.5 MPG, ever since my first oil change i am now breaking 18.2 MPG. I also switched from vpower to BP 93.(dont want to start a war i prefer 93 ) but what could be the reason for my increase in MPG? my driving habits have not changed a bit

22 mpg
I have a 2013 RX 350 FWD with 18K miles and I average about 22 MPG all around with Regular 87 octane gasoline. Much of it depends on how you use the accelerator pedal. If you take off quickly then you will have lower MPG.

For those of us who aren't familiar with the metric system, that comes out to 26.5 MPG. That's about what I was getting on an 800 mile trip while averaging 66 MPH.

The warm weather in the Midwest definitely brings back the gas mileage. We had a weekend trip of 477 miles of city, interstate and 2-lane road travel and used 20.66 gallons of regular unleaded fuel. Average of 23.1 mpg and riding in great comfort is why we like our RX350.

Just returned from a trip to Minnesota... 1032 miles 38.5 gallons = 26.8 MPG. 2014 RX 350 AWD, 87 octane E10 gas, 95% freeway, AC on all the way.
About to hit the road again on a 1400 mile trip.
The RX is really a great touring car.

We've had our 15RX since April and have been consistently getting 19-20MPG in the city. We're in Canada so it's 11.4-12.5 L/100km for us.
Very happy so far. Our MDX was worse and on premium gas as well! We've only been using 87 octane in the RX. Too much of a price difference here in Canada. The premium can be 16-18 cents more PER LITER!! It's crazy. Very happy to be able to run regular.

Isn't MPG directly correlated to MPH?
0 MPH = 0 MPG. There is probably a sweet spot usually around 55-60MPH where MPG is maximized as average MPH goes up so does MPG until it reached peak point then it starts to go down.
How is sharing just one number helpful to anyone?
Will it help someone if I say that I fill up twice per months?

2013 RX. Just took a trip from Dallas area to Denver CO ... 85 octane, 5 adults, AC on always, speed was mostly 75-80 mph freeway driving and only got 23.6 mpg average. True the climb dents the mpg but return trip was slightly worse...22.3. mpg! Wind plays a big factor also.
