TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Lexus GS

Lexus GS Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Comment
	In casual suburban driving the trip computer reported between 22 and 23 mpg, splitting the difference between the EPA ratings of 19 city and 26 highway. When I made the engine sing mpg dropped into the high teens. Slip into Eco and drive the GS like a Prius, and 25 is barely doable. Not bad for a 306-horsepower, two-ton, all-wheel-drive sedan. But the torquier Audi A6 3.0T and BMW 535i xDrive do a little better, especially on the highway. The Teuton's turbos help a little here, but most of the blame/credit goes to their respective transmissions. If and when Lexus fits the GS AWD with the eight-speed automatic already offered in the RWD car, it'll likely catch up. see full Lexus GS review

Lexus GS Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr Sedan 303-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	I have been averaging 26 MPG (indicated) in mixed suburban and highway driving, which I think is pretty good. see full Lexus GS review
2008	4dr Sedan 292-horsepower 3.5L V6 Hybrid 6-speed shiftable CVT RWD	For 340 hp and a 0-60 of 5.2 seconds, I consider an average of 24 in the city and 33 on the highway to be incredible. If you really feather the gas and stick to 65 on the highway you can get around 36-38 mpg. see full Lexus GS review
2007	4dr Sedan 292-horsepower 3.5L V6 Hybrid 6-speed shiftable CVT RWD	Low consumption in city and stop and go traffic Significant fuel savings in typical German highway driving - plenty of acceleration to and braking from high speeds. The hybrid drivetrain minimises the cost of this compared to conventional petrol power see full Lexus GS review

2013	4dr Minivan, ext. 283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	gets an amazing 27 mpg at 70-75 mph. In-town mileage never checked, but it is considerably less. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review
2011	4dr Minivan, ext. 283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The fuel economy well exceeded our expectations yet we had more than enough power to pass. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review
2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 175-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	SE vs. SXT. The SE 3.3 mpg is as good as other minivans and many cars, and better than the SXT 3.8 or 4.0. The 3.3 moves the fully loaded vehicle very easily. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review
2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 175-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Way more room than an SUV and quite a bit better fuel economy as well! see full Dodge Grand Caravan review

2007	4dr Minivan 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	For a minivan I get 18-20 MPG in the city. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review
2006	4dr Minivan, ext. 207-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	I love it best has been 29.8 running Shell 93 octane then 25.8 running Shell 87 octane. Love the fuel economy! see full Dodge Grand Caravan review

2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 197-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	It gets almost as much as my 2000 Windstar with 158K miles. I had hoped it would get better. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review
2005	4dr Minivan, ext. 207-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	I tend to drive this thing hard, and on highway trips where I average 80 to 85 mph, the fuel economy is only around 17 or 18. Should be at least in the low 20s. Around town and with my wife driving it, fuel economy is around 20 to 21. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review
2004	4dr Minivan 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Nasty city mileage. I never get above 15 mpg. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review
