lemon Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 My car has been at the dealer for the past week having warranty work done. I was given a loaner vehicle - a 2011 RX350. It had a full tank of gas when I got it. As per the mileage computer in the vehicle the 'average since refuelling' is 13.1 l/100km. The average today on my drive to work (95% highway) was 12.3 l/100km. In my 2006 400h, I can easily get 8 to 9 l/100km on my commute to work. Before taking it in for service, the mileage was 8.9 l/100km. In the summer I can get closer to 8. I imagine if I did all highway that the 350 would be closer to the 400h - it seems to be in the city that the difference is much greater. I will admit, I'm smitten by the 3rd generation - very nice interior, exterior is growing on me (initially I though it looked a bit bloated), seems to handle a bit better as well (I think the rear suspension was changed for the new model). On a happier note, a friend of mine told me of two friends of his with a Ford Edge. 18 l/100km and a Acura RDX 15 l/100km. Of course, it's not apples to apples, as they drive differently than I do, but still...
lenore Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 we have been averaging 24.3 miles per gallon...Our old RX averaged 17 to 18....I am loveing it...
cduluk Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I'm only averaging 22.4 miles/gallon in my Rx400h, 90% city driving too. I think it's because when i get to school each day, i park with the ignition ON for a good half hour or so just waiting for spots to open up- with the engine turning on and off getting 0 miles per gallon, just burning fuel... But still, it's much better than what i was getting with the Rx300!
