josswallace Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I have recently bought a 2007 RX 4ooh with £45k miles on the clock. Having driven fro the UK to The Tirol in Austria at speeds between 70mph and 100mph I find I am getting around 24mpg. (UK miles per gallon) - but its the discrepancy thats the issue. This is nowhere near the advertised 37mpg and I have no idea what could be causing it. Could the main battery be not performing properly. Any advice/guidance would be very much appreciated.

lenore Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I have been on these forums for a long time, and have never seen anyone get a claimed 37mpg. 29-31 yes, but on average 24-25 mpg is what I get and many others. This is a fantastic improvement over the old RX300 which got on average 17-19mpg. Wow the advertised 37 must be the Camry. That one does get that kind of mileage on the Hybrid. Oh and welcome aboard to a great site with lots of knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX400h Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 The huge advantage that hybrids have over non-hybrids occurs during city driving. When you are traveling at 70-100 MPH, there is no advantage over a non-hybrid. I agree with Lenore; 37 is closer to what a hybrid Camry would achieve. We average 25-26 which is typically more than 20% better than most non-hybrid RX330s and RX350s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josswallace Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Many thanks for the response, very reassuring. I spent many years on the ford Scorpio site and it looks as if I have joined another great. Group 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
