Out of curiosity how much was your insurance policy Stephen?

How far do you drive at 0?

I would've thought that l/100km (on the tank refill average number) would be also an indication of you driving style? Not sure if there's a formula for calculating the range from which ever number but doesnt look like its the tank average l/100km. From experience it might be calculated based on maybe the last 30min of l/100km rather than tank average. I got to work yesterday with 18km left on my range (work to home is about 15km). So I thought I would make it home without the range reducing to 0. After getting in the car after work and starting it up, the petrol engine started (as usual on a cold start) and the l/100km reading shot up to 30 for the first few minutes. All of a sudden, my range dropped from 18km to 0 and did not bounce back up. I ended up driving home with a range of 0 all the way but I did make it home. I decided to not go any further and filled up straight away when I got home (filled up 36L). Odometer reading was at 733km which wasnt even my best mileage. So ..... conclusion, I do think that even after your range hits 0, you prob still have about 15% of fuel left which at my consumption rate would still take me 100-200km - in this case I still had 9L left in the tank which should take me 150km.

Wow that app looks pretty cool! I have been using docstogo in Excel to keep track of my usage. What app is that? I have been filling up around 35-36L as well. You must be driving yours down quite a but close to 0 as well.

That's really good fuel consumption. The best I can do for the type of driving I'm doing is about 6.3L/100km. Wow thats pretty high. Do you just use the standard or sports mode for majority of time? I'm trying out my below 0 theory today. Have 16Ks left.

Yeah, most of my driving is to and from work which is usually fairly good. 15min of 80-100km/h. 90% highway 10% start stop. My average is 4.8L/100km and if I use 45L - that theoretically gives me 937km. Even at 5L/100km (which I never get up to on a per tank average) that should achieve 900km which I am getting no where near. I might try it this time round. so no one else has tried going below 0?

Hi all, Just a question. I have been getting consistently about 750Km and that will usually take me close to 0 (zero) on the remaining range indicator. When I go fill up, I only fill up about 35L which means I should still have around 10L (45L tank) left which should allow me to do around 200km (based on average 4.8L/100km usage) past the 0 mark on the trip computer. Has anyone tried driving past the 0 mark on the trip computer range indicator?

Hi all, What type if fuel is everyone using? I have been using 95 from day one. Anyone notice any mileage differences using difference fuels?

Hmm it does look like part of the E but what does a partial E mean then? partial 50kwh?

Hi Howard Thanks for your reply. I was actually referring to the little L symbols on the consumption bar graph on one of the attached photos above. There's the E symbols which means 50kwh electricity generated but the L does have any info against it.

Hi all, i've had 3 refills now and it has been fairly consistent mileage every refill. Here are the stats i keep during every refill. I drive to and from work every day with casual weekend driving. Weekdays I do about 30km total to and from work. Mix is 90% highway 10% city/suburban, with a bit of traffic jam now and then on the highway. By the way guys, what does the "L" sign mean on the fuel consumption screen?

Hi Stephen I went back to see my dealer to ask about the parking sensors. He got an answer from someone more technical. He said that any accessory added (eg: Lexus's own additional parking sensors) will not integrate with the screen. It will simply be a beeper that you turn on and off with a switch. Other models of CT200 can get the 4 sensors but only like a after market add-on and with a switch on the side. The Sports Luxury can add 2 additional ones at the front but is the same as the other models - beeper only and no screen integration. We went on to look at other like the IS and RX which all seem to have only 2 sensors as well. Have you tested your front sensors? I tried a few more times in a parallel parking scenario. I have parked as close as I felt comfortable to the car in front but the beeper would still not go off. The only time when it would go off is when an obstacle is at the side of the car - eg: if I drive VERY closely parallel to another car, the sensor would go off and would seem like the sensors were pointing to the side of the car rather than at 45' angle as the manual suggests. What are your expriences? If anyone has found a way of wiring up some after market sensors into the same wires as the existing sensors so that it can be display on the screen and activated only when the car slows down - I would be most interested in hearing about it.

Hi all, Just got my Sports Luxury last week and have been playing with all the various techs packed in. A particular issue I am having is with the parking sensor - front especially. I have found that there is only 2 side sensors to the left and right of the car. The range is of the sensors also start from 50cm (so the manual says). I have found during multiple instances that I swear I am about to hit the car in front during parking and the sensors still do not beep at me. Also the sensors being on the side of the car does not always pick up obstacles that are in front eg: motor bike or shopping trolley ...etc I found that I have to have something that is really blocking the sensors for it to start beeping. I have found in the accessories section of the lexus webpage that says "4 front sensors" so maybe its an additional cost to get it up to 4 sensors. Have discussed this with my sales guy and he is checking it out for me. Anyone having similar issues?
