slstsang Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 I have a 92 with 98K, I put 87octane and I get 285miles a tank... what about you?
dropspace Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 i get 350mi on a tank with premium in my 92. but it depends a lot on your driving style and what type of conditions you are driving in.
kyle0k Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 how do some many people post what their mpg is? where do u go check it out. b\c on some other posts people write like they are getting 25 on highway and 20 on roads for example. Do you actually spend the time to fill tank up all the way and be on highway till it ends,lol(i doubt it)
dropspace Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 reset your trip meter when you fill up when you get gas again, put how many miles are in the trip meter in your calculator, and divide by how many gallons of gas you put in the tank to refill it. miles/gallons
amf1932 Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 To be more accurate, try to use the same gas pump as you used in the original fillup. ;)
kyle0k Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 hmmmm i knew how to do it but thats a much better and efficient way to do it then what i was thinking,doing hwhoel gas tank and then deviding miles by 18g stupid me:chairshot:
blake918 Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 1994 ES, Premium Shell gasoline only, I get in the 18.5-19 mpg range 90% city driving. I typically fill up when I hit 240-250 miles just to be safe .
steviej Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 use premium (93 octane), mostly Mobil/Exxon. 22-24 mpg around town. 28-30 mpg all out highway. steviej
m2pc Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 Mixed city (30%) and highway(70%) around 19-23 MPG
SKperformance Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 the best ever was 900km on one tank of gas premium of course in a 94 es all highway no stopping
Lexusfreak Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 I'm very close to sk, I got 850kms (530 miles) on a tank with all highway.....got a little nervous when the fuel light came on so I tanked up......I still had a bit to go before she was bone dry......& I only use Sunoco Ultra 94! :D
gtricebitc Posted March 5, 2004 Posted March 5, 2004 I have installed a homemade intake (cone K&N filter) and improved from 280-320 to 330-350miles per tank with 50% highway 50% city. 10% increase in fuel efficiency is good enough for me.
denvergs300 Posted November 21, 2004 Posted November 21, 2004 Lexus recommends filling up at 1/4 of gas left in the tank. Why?? Because it does not put alot of strain on your fuel pump when the gas tank is full. I always fill up at 1/4 just to be safe. Replacing the fuel pump is a pain and costly!

There's no way you're going to get a 10% increase in fuel economy simply by replacing the air filter. Undoubtedly, the conditions 'after' were different than 'before'.

mburnickas Posted November 21, 2004 Posted November 21, 2004 I have a 92 with 98K, I put 87octane and I get 285miles a tank... what about you? ← My 98 gets between 23.8 to 24.4 in town (and to work) Highway is around 28.1 to 29.7 (with cruise at 75mph). At half tank it is around 200 to 210 miles. Only use 87octane.

Only use 87octane. ← 205 last fillup, i still had 1/4 tank. **Disclaimer** My car is 15 years old and in severe disrepair, please pay no attention to the fact that i only get 220 miles to a tank fo gas...that is all!
alank22181 Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 My ES 330, new in May, has 5000 miles on odometer. Monitoring MPG is easy since it is part of the automated functions. My Avg city is 22, my avg highway is 27. I am currently using 89 octane, even though hi grade is recommended. I keep a book recording each fill, the price/gal, the supplier, the miles travelled and the MPG. I also record each service, the cost and the place where the service is done. My record keeping may be a bit odd to some, but It's easier for me to see trends when accurate records are kept. :P alan in NoVa
sunman Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 I get 350 miles on 1 tank. 60%hwy, and 40% city. I get a combined average of 21 mpg. When i drive pure HWY, the average shoots to 28mpg
Lex3486 Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Yeah, I think I was gettin about 28 at best last summer on the highway, about 75-80, windows down and A/C off. If I try real hard and drive grandpa-style, I've gotten as much as 335 miles/tank, city and highway combined, but normally I'll get right at 300 or so. Just depends on how frisky I feel in the city haha. The SC gets 330 easy though. I'm likin that.
chrispiss Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 I usually fill up at around 300 miles, but I've gone as much as 350 miles on a tank, and there were still about 2 gallons left.
