molocka12 Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 I use Hess 87 octane & average 13.3 mpg around town. I purchase this lx in late July & have not had the opportunity to go on a trip to see Highway mpg. I am using K&N AIR & OIL FILTER in my LX450 with Mobil 1 Truck & SUV SAE 5W- 40 Sythetic thinking my milage would be better. I now getting 12.5 almost 1 mpg less .
dougjohn2 Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 In our 450s, we use 87 octane (which is the octane rating for Regular Unleaded in CA). My wife's stock 450 has gotten 17 mpg on the highway, but average highway is 16 mpg. Average mixed city/hwy is 14 mpg. My 450 now gets 13 mpg on the highway, if I'm lucky...and about 11 to 12 in mixed city/highway. The difference is due to the aftermarket bumpers, rock sliders, lift, and oversized tires. My mpg is based off my GPS readings, so they're corrected for the tire size increase.
Rookie Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 87 Octane, slightly under 15mpg mixed driving, between 16 and 17 for all highway. I'm not sure why I get better than factory. Fresh fluids throughout (all dino except T-case) and I am bone stock. There was a noticable increase after I did the birf job, and cleaned all the birf. !Removed! out of the axle. FWIW, it does look like the cleanliness of the fluid in the front diff has a significant impact on mpg. Rookie
skyman Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 I use Bp or Exxon 93 octane I get 15mpg in mixed driving and 16-17 all highway at 65-70mph I keep 32psi in all the tires
denslexusgx470 Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 well i hope having a Gx counts here, I use 87 octane, and i get roughly 15 mpg in town, and 18 mpg when in the freeway.
Nunya Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 I seem to average about 13.5 MPG. I use 87 Octane gas. I try to keep the tires at 32 PSI
