I've only checked mine once and it was
and it was right at 60. But it's kind of a crap shoot.
Such a small amount of gas if your a little off
on a refill it can really change your number.

My previous LX150 was around 60 mpg. With my new LX150, I'm going to attempt to monitor my fuel useage and milage a little more accurately since I can basically start over from zero. There was a post not too long ago where someone created a Fuel Consumption Spreadsheet in Excel and shared it. Maybe someone will chime in and be able to provide it. I might have it saved somewhere and will take a look to see.

I have averaged 60.5 mpg on my LX150 over its first 2000 miles. That's almost exclusively city driving with a lot of stop-and-go, so it could be a little better, but it's still better than a car!

Weird, I have had this February '04 and it had been pretty consistent at around 50mpg whenever I check it. Mentioned it to the dealer and he just said it should be closer to 60. Did not offer any explanation or advice.
It's all around town stop-go driving and sure beats a car, not to mention the ease of parking downtown.

Not like your climbing hills. I would think your mileage
would be better than mine.
I wonder if humidity or any other factors can be
in play. Gotta love it when the dealer doesn't seem to
care.
I use hi-test I wonder if that matters.

even on my 9-year old ET4 i get about 60mpg (i think that's right - i'm used to working it out in terms of kilometers per litre). this is almost exclusively stop n go city driving.

I get around 45mpg, but I usually have a passenger on my ET4. I'm assuming the extra 135 pounds has a significant impact on milage.
