I purchased a Lexus 400h with all the bells and whistles in January.
The epa sticker claimed 33-28. We all know that not accurate but 23.!!
In fact checking by the old manual method it obtained only 21.66.
Admittaly the first few tanks gave 26.8. Auto now has 8000 miles.

The biggest disapointment is the GPS. One has to know where they are
going. If one follows the voice direction there is no telling where you
woulds end up. Often the voice directions are turn left, when one must
turn right. Another problem when on a ring road around a city one is
directed to turn at every exit. Destination address is in the city but
about 30 exits farther down the interstate.

Any suggestions are appreciated

Thanks
Jim

There may be something wrong with your GPS. Take it back to Lexus
and tell them what you're 'seeing'. I can tell you that I've had
and used a number of GPS's in my vehicles (current Acura RL and
formerly 2x Acura TL's) and in rentals -- as well as 2 or three
portable units, and none of them have displayed the issues you're
having. Hard to believe that Lexus would put out such a flawed GPS
system in their vehicles.
