I am getting about 24 MPG. I am curious if this is about the average of all drivers. I am averaging my snow driving with traffic driving and Highway driving. I just like to know the average regardless if you drive in traffic, snow, slow or fast!

Gracias ;)

But my question is, how are you guys basing ur MPG estimates? Cause I know in my case when I do total milage over miles driven on a tank my estimates r about 2-3 mpg less then what the computer reads.

I just get mine from the car's computer. Next time I will do it manually and see what I get.....

I get just above 25mpg on mine, have been around 28 on a good day but it is rare. I do drive mostly highway so that helps but use the computers calculations as I don't really care if it's off 1 or 2 mpg either way.

My mileage calculations are usually about 1 MPG higher than the computer on a tank to tank basis.

Same here!

I do a lot of city style driving and avg 21-22mpg per tank of all city. When I get to the highway my car is seeing 27-29mpg.

My 07 IS250 AWD typically shows 27.x MPG for the tank average as well as current MPG. Most of my driving is highway on the weekends. It is still cool in the Midwest so I would expect to get better MPG once the weather warms up.

I only have 1300 miles on the car so far. Should I expect to get a little better MPG once I have about 10k miles?

I have yet to perform a manual calculation but I have some advice. The gas pumps tend to vary in terms of volume of fuel calculated during a fill-up. Hence you will get different result if you frequent multiple gas stations. Obviously they can't vary too much but just enough to disagree with what the car calculates.

Getting around 23 mpg with 80% highway miles. Manual calculation. I've given up with the approx range the car computer gives me. The computer tank avg gives me25 mpg but I wouldn't trust it.

Same here... I'm getting about 2-3 mpg less than the reported "tank average". IS250 RWD, in mostly city driving in traffic. No long trips yet, so don't know hiway mpg.

This is interesting. I reported earlier that I have been getting around 23 mpg. I just had my 5000 mile oil change at the dealer and just after two fillups I was able to go 440 miles on one tank and avg around 26 mpg (manual calculations). I did drive very conservatively this last fillup. But prior to the oil change my usual tank range was 390 miles.

I did a test again this week. I have been driving between 65 and 70 mpg (and literally getting run over on the freeway), and I've gone up to 30 mpg, according to my computer. Granted, my computer always states that I am 2 mpg above what GasBuddy says, so I'm probably really only getting 28 mpg. However, I'll take the 2 extra mpg with these gas-gouging prices!!!!!

My tank average started at 19. After 500 miles, I am up to 21. Hope to get more, so it's too early to vote in the poll. Mostly city driving.
