bdar Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Hi there, I wonder you much gas consumption on average to you guys have? I have a brand new 2005 AWD RX330 and find out I only have about 13.5 mpg? Is it normal? Or will it improve after the break in period? Thanks.

quicks2ilver Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 That sounds really low... I've had mine for a month now and I've been getting 17-20 MPG on avg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termite Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I only ran 2 tanks on my 2005 RX330 so far and got 20+ MPG on those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryray Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 it should get better. I am in NYC and get about 17-18. On the highway I get between 20-25mpg. To get the best highway mileage kep it below 65. If you avg 70-75 it will go down to 20mpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booyah Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 ALOT more than I want right now!! IM getting around 14.5-16.0 I did find out she HATES shell gas, just with a fill up my mileage dropped like a rock--refilled with my chevron (reg) and it shot back up almost 2 points (same ol driving style) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it A) from the center dashboard 'cruise information display' or B) by actual calculation of odometer mileage vs. total gallon of gas pumped into the tank ? If it's B and that is scary low, you should have dealership check it out ASAP ! a.c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have about 2000 miles on it with a MPG average of 19.8 .... combination of both city and highway driving, but mostly highway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOVESAN Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Data from 'cruise information display' are really for reference use only and it Probably didn't even reset correctly after last 'full' tank refill. Try to do a simply calculation on your next refill (below 1/4 of tank) by dividing read outs from your total milage from last refill (use your trip odometer, i.e. 300 miles) with actual total gallon of gas pumped, i.e. 15 gallons. See what happens then. Good luck. a.c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhody401 Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 My NAV based trip computer (04 330) is always just about EXACTLY 1mpg better than reality. I check when I fill it up. Is this something I can calibrate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
