back4the1sttime Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 I have a 93 ES300 with 113k miles on it. I filled up on Sunday, full tank. I drive a total of 20 miles everyday to get to and from work. This is during rush hour I mind you. It isn't even bad rush hour, it only takes me 25 minutes to get to work with rush hour. Around 20 without. Anyways, I filled up on Sunday, and when I filled up today I had to put in 9 gallons. Something isn't right. 9 gallons for 80 miles? I didn't go anywhere else I mind you. Can someone tell me what's up? Cuz this is ridiculous.

Lexusfreak Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Might also want to check the air pressure in your tires.
blk_on_blk Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 You might want to also pull the MAF and clean it with electrical automotive spray cleaner
back4the1sttime Posted August 1, 2008 Author Posted August 1, 2008 You might want to also pull the MAF and clean it with electrical automotive spray cleaner Yeah, I'm getting new tires tomorrow(I just saw that there's a pretty deep crack in one of my tires), and getting them balanced and rotated. I think that'll definitely help. I'm also checking my air filter and everything.
richard99 Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 I remember back in '73 when gas was (relatively) expensive there was a lot of siphoning going on. Maybe wanna make sure your access door for your gas cap is locked...?
