I fill up at BP with ultimate unleaded which works out at about £79 for a full tank and that lasts me 5-6 days (not sure how many miles).

But have been thinking that a hybrid (or god forbid even a diesel) might make sense........

I've recently started doing a lot more mileage and the IS200 is not good for that! Careful driving has seen up to 27mpg though which isn't horrendous - it's about 380 miles off about £72 of V Power. Trying to see if I can crack 400 miles out of a tank...........

iLLzLex am i right in saying that driving with the ect pwr mode on is a cause of excess fuel consumption? by that i mean normal driving...ie calm without flooring it ( i know that ect pwr only truly works when you floor it)
I find that I get better economy with the ECT PWR on - may sound odd but that's the way I've seen it. I think snow mode actually makes it worse, as it feels like it uses more engine braking.

A bit OTT but I think everyone gets the picture that a 4.3 litre V8 and fuel economy don't go hand in hand.
I average about 350 miles per tank if I drive my LS like a district nurse. This works out roughly about 22 mpg, on a good day, going down hill, with the wind behind me, and no ac, and tyres inflated to 80psi.
