Thank you all for your responses I have looked at some of the suggested threads and can see that I should be achieving better mpg on longish runs than at present, will see how it goes for the next month or so as I am planning a couple of trips to Lymington and Brighton and if no improvement speak to my Lexus dealer..... Having said that I really enjoy driving the car and it compares favourably with my previous BMW 525d particularly with regard to the equipment provided.

Thanks for the welcome & response Steve, What you say makes sense as I was aware that the Lexus is not particularly good as far as fuel consumption is concerned but 29mpg on a long run was a little worrying! I would however be interested in hearing from other IS250 owners as to the mpg they have experienced so that I can judge in a couple of months time whether there is a problem that needs referring to the Lexus dealer.

Hi all, I am a new member having recently purchased an IS 250 which is registered in July 2012 & has about 2,300 miles 'on the clock'. Having only owned it for 3 weeks am still discovering all the many functions but am concerned about the excessive fuel consumption, wasn't expecting much about town but have been on a couple of reasonable runs (mainly motorway & A roads generally not exceeding 80mph) each of about 200 miles and have not achieved more than 29 mpg. Is this normal or has anyone any suggestions? Would apreciate your views, thanks.
