Bobbytbird 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2009 Are there any actual owners of the HS 250h out there? If so, I'm curious what your real-world mileage has been? I own one and have been getting 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers. Sorry about the metric to those in non-metric places. They advertise 5.7 liters per 100 kilometers which is 35mpg for comparison. I am driving very conservatively to try to maximize mileage so I'm not particularly impressed. I live in Canada where the temperature is around freezing and I expect the batteries perform at a lower level at those temperatures and this might be part of the reason for the less than stellar performance. Maybe when they come out with the MPG figures they should measure somewhere other than Los Angeles in summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pdx-250 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2009 I've had my 250h for about 2 months now. I've been getting about 33.5 with Plus gas. When I filled up with Regular unleaded I was down to 32mpg. I drive in Eco mode and I've adjusted my driving style to get better milage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use regular w/E10 (ethonal) ... that's about all I can find in the DFW area. I had a loaner HS250h while 3M paint protectant was being applied to the front of my car ... and was able to get about 45 mpg w/the loaner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It takes time to figure it out and how to do it with any vehicle. I'll be happy to answer any questions I am able to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Wiggins 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2014 I was told I must use high test and I can only find no less than 10% ethanol. I use ECO drive and the car dash tells me I am getting 25-26 mph. It was advertised as 35 mph. Is the car misinforming me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PatHagan 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2016 I haven't seen a HS 250h around here but I know there must be one or two. I just bought my 2010 250h and so far I love it. My mileage is only about 29 miles per gallon, so I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong? It's fun to drive and I love the way it looks. I bought this 2010 with only 46,000 miles on it. It looks brand new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
