Fuel Economy - What Are You Getting?

[Stiltz]

Hi all

I recently bought a second hand 2006 GS300 which is a beautiful machine. Amazing since it has 160K on the odo.

My only concern is the fuel consumption. Currently I am averaging 17/100kms which i think is steep. I am wondering whether i might need to replace a sensor or 2. Is this a common fault?

What are other people getting?

I have a 2003 GS, I get on average 9.0l/100km on the highway, sometimes slightly better. around the city 14 to 17l/100km, it depends how you drive. the GS is a great highway cruising vehicle. enjoy.

Interesting. For my knowledge is the 2003 a V6 or the straight6?

[LTuned]

Yes it is a 3 litre straight 6.

[ilv1004s]

06 is a V6 and yes 17L/100 is very high

im getting 11-12s with my 2014 GS350

and thats with a heavy foot

MY06 GS430 gets 7.5L-9.0L/on highways and 11.5L-13.5L moderate to heavy traffic.

Thanks tchen,

I changed a sensor and am now getting 12L in the city which is a great relief.
