I've had my HS250h since 10/17/2009. My experience has been that getting a 100% charge is infrequent. It usually only happens if I've had to use the brakes quite a bit and the pack is already "mostly" charged. I don't worry about it ... just try to make sure it's "sufficient" (>50-60%) to take advantage of the hybrid modes. I try to keep it >60% unless I'm using EV for the end of my drive in our neighborhood. For my vehicle, "charged" is usually between 80-90%. My previous hybrid behaved very similar and I agree w/Argelius that this is "normal" behavior.

Hi Todd, Try following this thread and see if it helps: http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...showtopic=61196 Driving for better mileage (for me) was a little bit counter-intuitive from the way I was taught how to drive. 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.

I have created 2 threads on another site (cleanMGP.com) that may be helpful to some. I hope it will not be considered "poor form" to post the links below: The "Journey" to Better Mileage: http://www.cleanmpg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26754 Lexus HS250h Mileage Tips for Beginners: http://www.cleanmpg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26774 I wanted to provide a perspective on both the mental mindset of improving mileage and some basics of what works on the Lexus HS250h.

I have had mine for about 1 month and have 1500 miles on it. I have averaged about 46 mpg so far (measured from pump gallons). What typre of gas do you use? Regular? Premium? Thanks! 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.
