That is excellent for a 2.5l v6👌👌

Absoutely, helpful, thank you for your time and efforts doing this man!!!

Good job with the text , cameras, editing , you are the best

For people curious about more real world figures. 2007 model, 40,000 miles: Long (100 mile plus) motorway run - 42mpg is possible. Definitely should be able to get 39 or 40 on any 250. If you are not achieving high 30s something about the way you are passing cars is too aggressive or there is a possible problem. Town - 20-26mpg in stop start high traffic Mixed - You will achieve something in-between the above figures depending on exact conditions, temperature and style of driving. The key to good long distance economy is judicious use of cruise control. Set it at 65-70mph. Do not allow the car to accelerate for you once the radar has dropped your speed. It just takes off and kills economy. Turn it off and accelerate yourself then reset cruise control. Not absolutely necessary of course, only if you care about hyper miling and want to hit the best figures achievable. Around town this car is very very sensitive to driving style and traffic density. They are two huge factors and it's why you see so many people with different views on the car drinking fuel or being surprisingly economical. All cars are like this but this isn't one of those cars where the disparity is small, it's very sensitive. If you want economy you have to drive for economy. If you don't then you will be on the pessimistic end of real world figures. You always have to consider that it is a 2.5 V6 petrol hooked up to a torque converter, lexus did a brilliant job on the economy for this but you are still working within those parameters! Last thing: the computer is known to be 1 or 2mpg optimistic so take that into account in people's figures. On the plus side Lexus's performance figures are a tad pessimistic if you set the car right for acceleration.

Nice video. Would love to see same test with 98 and 95 Ron

nice video!

I love the videos. But I don't know where to get 100 octane gas.

Hi there,, ive done 203 miles and i coud get 35.2 mpg at 75mph on cruis(most of the time),uphills and downhills ,4 people in the car, and it was raining hard all the way,19 " wheels and front demister on ... i think is doing very well

The one thing I don't like about this car is that it shifts to 1st gear if I slow down below 5mph. If I'm going over a major speed bump or sometimes crawling around a corner it goes down. Is this normal because if it shifts down to 1st from 2nd I immediately want to go while it's still rolling then it's an ugly upshift

Big difference between steady state and real world economy. Every time you use the brake pedal, the vehicle's momentum is turned into waste heat. Meanwhile, when you are accelerating, you are probably briefly consuming fuel at more than 30 l/100 km. On the highway, never exceeding 120 kn/hrs in light traffic, I can average between 7.3 and 8.0 l/100 km over several hours, including acceleration from stop to highway speed (IS 250 automatic AWD). My long term average (mix of city and highway) is about 9.5 l/100 km.

hey, thanks for sharing. How did You add video overlay?

The IS250 underreports the consumption. I had one of these cars and the trip computer always said about 0.6-0.7L/100km less than the real numbers calculated at the petrol station. With really defensive driving and 110 max speed, i managed 6.2L/100km on the trip computer, but it was 6.75 after calculation at the petrol station. This was almost consistent over 22k km of my ownership. Take the information on the trip computer with a grain of salt, because 7.4L at 150 seems highly optimistic to me, because thats about the real figure i get at on motorway routes where max 130 is allowed. (in the summer that is) and since you get 6.8L at 130, i think the underreporting of about 0.6-0.7 sounds about right. Ergo real figure for 150 should be about 8.1-8.2L/100km.

I have a 2009 Lexus IS250 AWD with 153k miles, Not sure if the AWD makes my car lose MPG’s compared to a RWD but i consistently get 33-36 on the highway and 21-25 city

But if you put on manual you can put it in the 6th gear. On auto it stais on 5th gear. How is consumption with 120kph?

Mine lexus is 250 has average 13MPG on 100% city drive what might be the cause and what are the solutions for that

Kakav je generalno za odrzavanje, sa delove kod nas? Vidim da smo komsije, hvala :)) odlican autic!!

amazing car, nice car!!

Interesting clip Do you do your own servicing - oil changes etc ?

Seems wayyyy better than a Prius as those are city cars.. what’s the benefit of grabbing the IS250 over the 350?

For me my is 250 2wd 2008 not give good average what should I do any advice. ?

Hi. Very good video. I have just one question what is fuel consumption in city in traffic? Thanks.

dobar video, ali teško mogu vjerovati. Imam isti automobil s 138000 kilometara, ali stvarno ga ne mogu napraviti, u čemu je tajna?

You make nice videos. I have also Corolla E12 and planning to upgrade IS250, but little bit worried about fuel consumption. In Finland car test newspaper got these figures: 80kmh=7.0l/100km, 100kmh=7.6l/100km, 120kmh=9,1l/100km. I think I have to test one car in my work route to find out real numbers. Most of it is 120kmh in summer and 100kmh in winter.

From my observations the computer usually is around 0,8 L/100km lower than the actual value(tank avg), measured between tank fill-ups. I've got a question, what is that noticeable whining noise when you rev-up the engine? Is that induction noise?

We usually get 31mpg and it's a 2010 is250 AWD. Have the video to prove it too!

Wow, I went around 100 km... maybe closer to 90 and I averaged 4.4 L/100km. I had the manual version which is factory lowered with sport suspension and 255/40/18 summer tires. I did buy the car new so I know it was always treated well. I also had a Nissan Cube, I drove 50 km one time and my best was 3.8L/100km. for that nissan cube my average for thousands of km's was 5.9L/100km.

My 2007 IS 250 on a highway mostly driving 100-110 kph range consumes 8~ liters / 100km. That's including once in a while overtaking, slowing down while going through villages. Overall avarage is 8.6 (what my computer says). In city it drinks quite a lot. Especially in winter :) These figures Vucko is getting are great - I've never achieved something like that. Smallest I've had is 6.5 while driving 80-90 kph range for many kilometers without ever overtaking. Could turning off the AC cause the dramatically lower consumption? I've never turned it off. I'm filling it up with 98 petrol.

It's very good car 🚗...👍🏻😆

This is a machine

Please make a video of consumption in city:D

I’m driving a 2006 is250. Compared to the 2000 Honda Accord, gas mileage is way better on the Honda

My 2007 is250 is giving me 11L/100km, and I am always using the freeway at 100-120 kph.

I measured 48 on the trip computer but according to actual fuel was a lot less don't think they are accurate that much

It's actually doing 35mpg at 80mph on a 2.5 v6? looking at buying one now

Don't forget tyre pressure also affects fuel economy

In city how much l does it take? Can you help me about the carbon build up issue with this engines? I know that there are some engine noises coming from early engine till 2009, after that they fixed the issue.

Hello please tell me how to change mpg into km/l, i have 2012 is250. Thanks in advance

The best I have seen on mine is about 35 mpg. That is real-world driving based on how much I filled up between refills. From experience, the trip computer is about 10% optimistic. Cruising at around 65 mph would easily hit the 40 mpg mark

and, what about town?

how many km has your car run Greetings from Germany

He is drinking less as my signum 2.0 t 231km/363nm. 2.0 r4 vs 2,5 v6 weird 🤷🏻

Is it rw or awd?

How about cruising at 110-120kph

In manual at 140 I have like 9.2l/100 ...

LOL BRO ! Dat LOW !

And how about city mpg? 40-50 km/h?

150KM gets 7.7l/100km while my wrx ej25 gets 9.5l/100km at 100KM/hr 🤦‍♂️

Dali je hybrid ili ne?

My lexus is250 consumption 40l on 260km in city :Ooo

bullshit.. true measurement: km/h // approx l. 80km/h - 6,0 - 6,5 l. 100 - 7-7,5 130 - 8 l 150 - 9 l.

Nice video. But you make mistakes. You should count British miles! Is a big different

This is lame it's like your afraid of your own car .....not even 220 bro kmt .....baby driver .....u need a 1.8l not a 2.5l
