Title: Lexus LS500h - Anyone Else Getting Frustrating Fuel Economy Results?

Hey guys, just got my brand new Lexus LS500h a few weeks back and I'm really disappointed with the fuel economy results. I've been following the suggested driving habits (eco mode, gentle acceleration, etc.) but I'm still getting an average of around 8-10mpg in city driving, nowhere near the 30-40mpg I was expecting. Has anyone else had similar experiences with this car?

"Yooo, same here bro, I'm averaging like 18mpg in the city with my LS500h and it's killing me - I paid for the hybrid for that eco-friendliness. Was hoping to get at least 25mpg, guess I'm just driving like a grandma"

Yea, I've had my LS500h for a few months now, and I got pretty hyped about the hybrid setup, but honestly, my fuel economy is all over the place. I've seen it dip as low as 10l/100km in the city, but then get up to 22l/100km on the highway. Anyone else having issues like this?

"Yooo, I feel you. Had my cousin get a LS500h and he's been complaining about the fuel economy not matching what Lexus advertised. We think the hybrid system might be messed up or something."

"Hey guys, I'm running a Lexus ES300h and I've definitely noticed the fuel economy numbers aren't quite what the brochure said. Have you checked for any software updates or settings that could be affecting your mileage? Also, how's your driving style been, city or highway mostly?"

"Lol, I feel you, mate. I was expecting way better fuel economy from my LS500h too, but it always seems to hover around 6-7 L/100km in the city. Have you tried tweaking the eco settings or checking for any potential issues with the hybrid system?"

"Dude, I feel u, I've got a friend who owns one and he's complaining about similar issues. He's been averaging around 15-20mpg, way off from the 44mpg claimed by Lexus. Anyways, has anyone checked their tire pressure or maintenance records?"
