might get a SC300 as a commuter car, what kind of mpg does it get?
hey guys hows it goin? I owned nothing but lexus for the past like 5 years or so, I have a RX 300 and an IS 300 and (long story) now I have to drive 2 hours each way to work. Needless to say im beating my IS to death doing this drive. I saw a SC 300 for sale down the road from me and thought about looking into it as a beater car for the commute. I know how to work on the 2jz and thats what these cars have right? More importantly what kind of gas milage do you guys get on the highway?

2 hours each way, I'm assuming it's going to be 60+ miles? I commute about
1 hour each way at 35 miles in the Washington, DC area. I burn slightly less
than a quarter tank a day. I usually have to fill up once a week. So I think
you're probably going to be filling up about twice a week or slightly less.
Gas prices around here are a tad less than $3.00 per gallon for premium, so
your at or around $50.00 a fill up. I think you'll be spending $400.00 or
close to that in gas per month. I'm not sure what your budget is, but that
sounds expensive. You can probably just finance a brand new prius, fill up twice
a month, and still have change to spend. Don't get me wrong, I like to see new
SC owners but I'm thinking realistically for you.
