2011 4dr Sedan 330-horsepower 3.7L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Fuel economy is abysmal around town. I guess that's the price you pay for going grocery shopping with over 300 HP. However, on the highway it's very possible to exceed the EPA mileage number. see full Infiniti M review
2006 4dr Sedan 335-horsepower 4.5L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 V8 power--it's a gas guzzler and could've used an extra 1 or 2 speeds more since it revs so high at highway speeds. see full Infiniti M review
2006 4dr Sedan 335-horsepower 4.5L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 78,000 miles primarily city driving and rarely use AC-16.9 mpg. 4.5 L V8 great power train with RWD-great fun to drive. see full Infiniti M review

5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Often avergaed as low as 16mpg on a tank-full of gas. see full Infiniti M review
 

TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Lexus RX

Lexus RX Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearComment
2013 The new transmission doesn't affect EPA city mpg, which remains a competitive if not outstanding 18. Highway mpg receives a bump from 24 to 26, putting it two to three mpg over most competitors. At a steady 75 mph, the F Sport engine is spinning 1,950 rpm, vs. 2,300 in the regular RX with a six-speed automatic. In suburban driving with the engine warmed up the trip computer typically reported 22 mpg. A very light foot bumped this by three mpg, while a heavy one sunk it by about the same. Buyers who put a high priority on fuel economy will prefer the RX 400h hybrid. It earns EPA ratings of 32 city, 28 highway, and is even a little quicker than the RX 350. Real-world suburban mpg appears to be about 29. see full Lexus RX review
