So how is your 1993 ES going in relation to petrol?

Hey Guys:

This Thread will be pinned and it will be a place where members can find what they need about their cars in terms of aftermarket parts etc. PM me for comments.

Hi Matt,

What could you advise in terms of fuel consumption for ES300 year 2000 model as my curent is around 23L/100 km on a 70L tank?!!!! It is a lot to me...

Can I please have a copy of this e-mail as well? dennis@neobox.com.au ;)

Does anybody know how I can get a copy of the history of the Lexus ES 300 LXS? Regards, Harold, recent ES300 owner.

Contact any Lexus dealer

Great! Thanks a lot!

I will do the test this weekend and will share the results.

I will drive with OD off with no speeding and no AC

Results to be posted next week

The ES was pretty good on fuel all around, but on the highway they were pretty close to the same. Both had and onroad fuel comsumption of around 7 to 8 litres per 100 k.If I drive around town averaging 30 kph with lot of stop and go traffic then comsumtion on the LS is up around 18. If you average it all out I'm usually get 11 to 12 overall. If I keep my foot in it and thrash it pretty good around town it can easily go over 20litres/100k, but then we all have to realize that if we want to make power, it requires fuel and if you want to make more power, it takes even more fuel! The LS is fully capable of making power and all too willing to accept the fuel you feed it.

If you are getting those sort of economy figures, I've got a pretty good image of the driving style that drove it there! hehe! In fact, I'll bet I could drive mine to worse figures than yours.

So if you compare the ES to the LS on fuel, the ES was not as capable of producing power so the economy has to be better, but it is not as satisfying to drive if you are wanting a bit of grunt, you just have to save those horsepower moments for the exception instead of the rule.

Cheers

Great! I have an Idea, but still it's a bit wierd for me to drive like an old Grandpa all the time as if I will drive my normal style I would always be over 20L/100km which is pitty as ussualy I fill the tank and by the end of the day it's already around 100k so another day or two and you already for another 70L tank!!! this is CRAZY! I used to drive 3.0L Magna and the average consumption was around 15L/100k and even if I was driving lke a mad with A/C on all the time it would give me then around 18L/100k I am just afraid to this what the consamption is going to be if I am going to:

- Turn the Over Drive ON

- Use A/C

- Driving NOT like a Grandpa (not 30km/ph)

consamption is going to be what? 30L/100km which is prety mach will give me a fll tank (70L!!!) on 200km?!!!!

this is disaster!!! Is there any way of improving fuel consamption? apart from the normal stuff ( no AC, don't hold braks ...)

Please advise.

Kind regards,

Owned an 93 ES300 for a year or so. It's a nice driving car but I'm not a fan of the front wheel drive V6.The engine is slanted to the rear and the back head gasket tend to sit in oil, which eventually causes it to leak. If you have to do a roadworthy only to be told that you have an oil leak and it's going to cost you$2500 to have the gasket replaced!! Not fun.

Other than that, it was a really nice car but I like my LS better, but that's like comparing oranges and apples.

Hi and Thanks for your comments,

How would you compare your LS with ES in terms of fuel economy and just as general comparison? Currently I have 23Liters! fuel consmption!!! and it's not fun ...
