Thanks, Rick. I've had my 600 for 18 mos. now. Get less than 15mpg(!!!). It must be my driving. Putting on less than 2000 miles per year. Just a few miles per week.
But I love it. I worried about battery charging but (so far) it starts immediately, every time. Good luck with yours. What a car.

Thanks! Yes, got the valve spring recall. Glad to know for sure about the synthetic. I'll try the old school method next tank. (But may take a couple months, as little as I drive.)

Thanks, James. Oil/filter changed 2/4/2013 with 0W-20 synthetic (was synthetic necessary? $60.71 for 9.5 qts.). That was 400 miles ago including a 200+ miles r/t daytrip. This is L.A., I believe the fuel is fresh.

Anyone with experience with poor city mileage on their LS600hL? I just bought a 2008 (only 18,000 miles on it!) and am getting advertised highway mileage (21.9 mpg on a day trip last month) but am getting consistently below 15 mpg city. Advertised is 20 mpg. Anyone have similar experience? Anyone have a solution? Judging from the tach the gas engine seems to be cutting out, at redlights, etc., but I wonder if it's not cutting out enough, or re-starting too early, etc. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Jainla, that was very helpful. I think I'm doomed, only short trips, 1500 miles per year. Best mileage is 17, usually <15. But I love the car. Interesting comments.
