dcfish Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Is this normal @ 18 MPG? Need help on type of fuel 91 or 93.Thanks There has been a few posts on this lately, I always use premium 92-93. I don't care what others do/say when it comes to fuel. The owners manual states to burn premium. Welcome to the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Well it all depends, what sort of driving do you typically do? If its all highway 18 is low, but if you do a lot of driving around town 18s about right. And yes, you should burn premium in the LS430.

jainla Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 It all depends on the weather, how you drive, and where you drive... Agreed. When I had a commute that was about 60% city 40% highway I got about 18-19 mpg. Now that it's all city driving I'm lucky to see 18; 17 is more likely and during high traffic times I've even seen 16 mpg. Also I think using lower octane gas may lower your mileage in the LS...i use premium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PilotguyPA28 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I bought an '03 LS 430 w/30,000 miles back in December and I get about 16-17 city, 27-28 highway @ 75 mph, and 31-32 highway @ 60 mph. I use 93 octane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
