Is 300 Mpg/economy ?

[andy m w]

i wasn't expecting the earth from my IS300 when it came down to frugality but after 1st "normal" weeks use am pleasantly surprised , wife is main user & earlier in the year we were putting £35 a week into her vw touareg , that traded for 520d touring that was taking £25 of fuel on average friday/friday usage ,

last friday with fuel light on put £30 in the lexus , , nothing different on the usual week & still plenty of unleaded to burn , makes me even happier with my switch to the sportcross ;) a winwin for a change

Yay!

Top stuff andy m w, mines just like the 200 I had before....all depends on the right foot.....and mood of course!....never actually noticed a difference 200 to 300 though anyway.

think the surprise comes after much studying on net before purchase & finding majority of features slating the economy of the 200's , ,i just expected a caning at the pump with a 300 which has not happened , wife been out today doing her usual saturday stuff , get's home & she asks me if " maybe the fuel gauge is faulty ? :P

I must admit I find the 300 juicy compared to my Saab 93 Turbo Conv ...

BUT

It is not more juicy to the N/A supra I had.

I just concluded a 6cylinder engine likes petrol more to a V6 lol

There's only 2mpg avg diff between the 200+300. Must admit am tempted to swap my 200 for a 300...the standard 150 bhp just doesn't feel pokey enough for me.
