Hi,

I have an 1999 ES 300. Currently I am getting approx 23 mpg . I was wondering if I use tornado fuel saver (as shown on tv.) will that improve my gas mileage ?

Has any one tried it before ?

Regards,

Nilkanth.

Hi,

I have an 1999 Lexus Es 300 having current mileage of 61,000.

I stay in Charlotte, NC. I ha ve few questions:

1. The local Lexus Dealer Servicing cost is too high. Seeing at the work done and labour charge , I personally feel its a rip-off. Is there any way , I can get my vehicle serviced from the local Toyota Dealer ? I have an extended warranty on vehicle. Will servicing done from Toyota Dealer (and not from Lexus Dealer) void the warranty ?

2.The oil change has been marked for after each 3 months or 5,000 miles. I hardly drive 600 miles a month. Is it necessary to do an oil change so frequently , could it not be scheduled to be after 4 months or after 6 months (instead of 3 months.)

3. Which tyres should I get ?

High Performance or Ultra High Performance. Whats the difference in that ?

( by researching on net I found Potenza RE950 / Dunlop SP Sport A2 are good.) Has any one used them ? Whereas tirerack.com suggests me to use Firestone Affinity LH30. This is my first tire purchase , I dont know what to look for in a tire (except for size 205-65-15).

Any guidance will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Nilkanth.
