spiller91ls Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 This last sunday I went and shoot a match in Pheonix, AZ. Trip from Silver City NM to Pheonix was 262.8 miles, and round trip was 528.1 miles. Did this on one tank of gas, total gas used was 20.173 gallons. This works out to 26.178 mpg. by the way it took me 3.5 hours to go the first 262.8 miles, that includes slowing down tru Duncan, Safford, Bylass, Globe, Superior, all in arizona.

four door Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Spiller I got about the same milage on my '92 LS400 driving from Boston to Toronto, 550 miles each way on a full tank. Equal or better milage then many lighter mid sized cars. Used 93 octane unleaded. Foue Door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mejojo Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 24 MPG is a good an honorable rate. I believe the EPA mpg is 22 or 23 mpg highway (right?), and I believe it's not all that often that you achieve greater than the EPA rate. With California's oxygenated gas, I get about 23 mpg driving 90% @65 mph highway and 10% @35 mph through towns. If you haven't already, you should definitely check your air filter. I get the feeling that I actually get better mileage at 75-80 mph than 60-65 mph, but I don't have hard numbers since I don't do 75-80 on a regular basis. Anyone else feel like this?

four door Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 MEJOJO my brother has a '93 LS400 and he says he gets a solid 25 mpg highway consistantly at any speed from 60 to 100 mph., a/c or no a/c on. My '92 LS400 does the same. Four Door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusing Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 My 96LS only averaging about 22.24/mpg in city and highway driving.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91LS4ME Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Spiller, the numbers are correct. I get the same milage 26.1 on highway 70-80 mph. I don't go the whole 20 gallons though. I zero at every fill-up & next time I fill up I just note the gallons. I usually fill-up right when the light comes up & it's 18 gallons. 470miles/18 gallons=26.1 ( strictly highway ) 390miles/18 gallons=22.0 (mix) 360miles/18 gallons=20 (all city) it's a small city with very little congestion. Cheers. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
