Yes, it is!! Thanks to you and the LOC for the hints that I read prior to taking delivery of the RX. One off thread comment because I find it interesting. Because of where we drive, we have noticed some differences from what I have read about. Already, I have completely charged the traction battery several times (it happens on the loooong downhills here in the mountains). When you achieve complete charge the RX uses the traction battery and electric motor(s) instead of the gas motor at much higher speeds. I've pressed the accelerator and had it use the electric motors at over 50. On our trip to Breckenridge, CO we drove the eight to nine miles from Hoosier Pass to Breckenridge without using the gas engine at all, even though there were several periods where we were not coasting. :D

Every other new vehicle I've bought, I have started keeping track of mpg manually. I know that it is an indication of lots of things. I'd love to know what it is over time. I thought that it would be pretty easy to keep track here. I guess I'll have to choose between mileage tank at a time or some other logical unit. Thanks for the information. We feel good about the first tank 27.1 mpg

I have a 2008 RX 400h with navigation. Current miles 396. Bought it July 14, 2008. It has two mpg gauges; one on the instrument cluster under the speedometer, and the other in the trip information section of the navigation menu. The owner's manual indicates that the former "Displays the average fuel consumption since the vehicle was last refueled." The latter has a reset button on the screen (no comment in the navi owner's manual). My intention is to use the cluster gauge to determine my mpg for each tank and the navigation screen gauge to keep the cumulative mpg. Despite the words in the owner's manual, the cluster gauge does not appear to reset after I filled up for the first time. Can I accomplish that with the two read outs some way? Thanks for your help.
