TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Lexus LS

Lexus LS Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearComment
Nearly everyone except Toyota has been transitioning to boosted engines for fuel efficiency at least as much as for performance. While boosted engines swill gas at least as well as their unboosted equivalents when hustled, in typical driving they are more efficient. With EPA ratings of 16 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, the LS 460 nearly matches the Jaguar XJ AWD (16/24), but falls well short of the Audi A8 3.0T (18/28) and BMW 740Li xDrive (19/28). In the real world, the Lexus's fuel economy lags the others, including the Jaguar, to an even greater degree. In our suburban driving the LS 460's trip computer often reported averages between 15 and 16, vs. low 20s in the Jaguar. A light foot could nudge the LS's average to 18, but the XJ's to 25. On the highway the LS 460's trip computer reported averages of 24.7 and 23.3. The XJ's reported just over 30. see full Lexus LS review

2008 2dr Convertible 210-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 I was continually impressed that, given reasonably conservative driving, this torquey 3.3L V6 returned fuel economy in the high 20s and even touched the 30s on a long drive from Phoenix to San Diego. see full Toyota Solara review
2006 2dr Coupe 157-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 I keep getting above EPA estimates. City/Highway/Combined at 26/35/32 see full Toyota Solara review
2006 2dr Convertible 225-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 I get great fuel ecomony: 25-29 mpg combination of highway and city driving. see full Toyota Solara review
2004 2dr Convertible 225-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 Increased distance between gas stops. see full Toyota Solara review
