Yes, my GX460 gets 23 mpg when using cruise control set at 65 on the highway. And when the lady drives it for grocery haul driving locally it gets 12.5 mpg
Sick and tired of people bashing MPG of the LX and Land Cruiser because it is the only thing they can. The competitors are not better but it is never talked about.
I can’t get over how my 2017 LX gets about 13-15 mpg around town and then the IS350 gets about 20. Only good mileage I get in my garage is the Super Tenere ES, 40 mpg. All the vehicles need premium, so yay. I enjoy the LX, I got one with all the options including the wireless charger, HUD, and glass breakage sensor. I put in aftermarket CarPlay and Android Auto and I’m super happy with the result.
Add 18 inch vintage negative offset rims chrome one on that lx and see how good it looks. You will melt just by looking at it with those rims. Practicality plus looks.
I'm surprised at your mileage. That's what I typically get in my ES (~21 mpg combined). But then, I usually end up driving during rush hour with lots of slow moving traffic.
I have a 2021 LX570 and I get 22 mpg pretty consistently on the highway. I just made a trip from Texas to Arizona last week to see my lawyers and drove 2200 miles there and back. I got 21 on the way there and 22 on the way back. The only thing I wish the LX570 had was the same gas tank as my Tundra which is 38 gallons. I've made this exact trip 2-3 times before and normally take my Tundra since the LX570 is my wife's daily commuter. In my Tundra I can go nearly 650 miles before I need to fill up while in the LX570 I can go only around 440'ish. Typically, I get a wide-mouth water bottle and some burritos, and I can go 7-8 hours straight before I need to fill up and stop with my Tundra. It is why I love driving long distances in it!
I do the same with my cat. 1200 each way. Have the cooler behind the front passenger seat for easy access. Some water and some cheeseburgers. Stop every 550 miles.
@@447ephesians6 70 mph typically to get that mpg, but also I live in Texas where it is completely flat. Once I get over 75 it drops like quite a bit. At 80 mpg I'm getting 17-18 mpg but I can consistently get 19 mpg on the highway. In town it is 14-15 mpg but I would say typically I get 15.5 mpg in city if I drive like I didn't steal it. The other thing you have to unerstand though is how a twin turbo works. I"m running a lower rpm than you are because I have a longer stroke being a V8 vs a 2.3 L smaller engine in that V6. You are not only running at a higher RPM but both those turbos are spinning to get that tiny engine to put out the power necessary to move that 6,300 lb vehicle plus whatever other wait you have added at that speed. I come in 500 lbs lighter than you with the same a similar axle ratio of 3.30. I also notice better mpg when I am running premium 93 octane (which is what I typically use) than 87 octane. I hate to say it my friend but turbos are not these great engines the government tries to tell you that they are. Do not even get me started on turbos mpg when towing. Sheesh! :)
You can get ~20mpg if you stay below 75mph easily, just like you said. I have a 2016 with a lighter wheel/tire combo, no 3rd row and I can barely scratch 18 at 75, 80mph=16-17mpg But, again, if you stay
You don't get a three ton cruiser for efficiency. I have a 2010 with 17 inch wheels, slee sliders, and some other things. These really come into their own when you get dirt under tires.
Lexuses always seems to get worse gas mileage than their European and American rivals. My guess is they don't like upgrading anything drive train wise just like with their infotainment systems.
Charlie, I hope people are not buying any 3 ton SUV for its fuel efficiency. The real fuel efficiency of this 570 will be beaten by a few mpg by its competitors but the QDR of this Lexus is unrivaled. I hope your channel is one of the first to test the next LX when it gets the turbo V6 and modern 'infotainment' .
A lot of people buy these because of reliability and think they are saving money by not having to work on their cars but dont realize your going to be spending 1k+ extra money in fuel every year if you actually drive it.
Nobody I know drives this solo. They all haul 4-5 people over distance and that’s what you are paying for. If someone were to drive this alone to work everyday, they would be losing money through every orifice in their body
Buying this car isn’t about fuel efficiency at all. Most of the Engines produces with a 5.6, 5.7 or even 5.8 all gets somewhere between 12mpg to 17 mpg. I have my Infiniti 2006 QX56 where mines only get about 14.7 in city and 16.2 on highway. The LX570 is my next upgrade from the infiniti which I got 494K miles.
I would just fill the tank up until you see the gas right at the top. Now you're not relying on the pump. The pump isn't going 2 click at exactly the same spots.
That is terrible advice! If you do that, you are going to foul your charcoal filter in the evap tank. IF YOU’RE READING THIS, DO NOT FILL UP UNTIL YOU SEE GAS AT THE TOP
It depends on how you drive. When I drive with with a light foot I get 18mpg-20mpg easily. If I drive heavy I’ll get 13mpg. Super smooth V8
My lx570 model 2021
Give 11.25 mile/ gallon inside city

I get 19 on my 2014 GX460 on the HWY. So 18ish is very good for LX570.
that's amazing I am getting like 15mpg mixed driving on my RX350!!!!!

@@447ephesians6ok Dale Earnhardt it’s an suv slow down
I can't wait for the sound test
This car is designed for long highway drives and off-roading, not grocery shopping. If you want good mpg, get a hybrid Camry, an IS or ES.

Beast, reliability is a 10!
Recently drove round-trip from NYC to Miami and averaged 15 mpg.
i was expecting worse. my moms lr4 got 15 mpg combined
Heard of some folk getting up to 22mpg so it’s not apparently impossible, why do you think the GX is better?
GX is smaller.
Who cares about gas mileage we just like power and luxury

Im used to 13 mpg and maintenance costs at this point so I wouldn’t mind the mpg
Well, I would rather prefer the high milage than having a headache trying to sort out what the car needs to fix. That happens to range rover owners.

Ouch.... Hearing that gx it's better than lx.. it does hurt a bit XD
93 Ron, We have 98 Ron here in Australia.
Why Premium Gas ? I have Sequoia with the same 5.7 engine and is running on regular.
Lexus often tunes their vehicles for premium despite the engines being similar.
My 2010 gets 15 mixed driving. 17 to 18 highway.
If your number of 19 is real, you need to check the tire pressure. For my experience, the highway is about 16-17, local 12-13.
Exactly what I get.
Wow I am getting only 8 or 9 miles per gallon 😵💫😔😔😔 lx2014 here
Wow, that's terrible! Is it a significant amount of stop start bumper-to-bumper peak hour traffic driving?
Odometer is slightly off.
Good gas good MPG😅
How bad is using that joystick?
Pretty bad
