Sad it's happening on a recently bought car. I would suggest you check it out with another mechanic before fixing anything. I noticed my car's (rx330) mpg dropped as well and I felt maybe it's because I don't always take it for long cruises, because I know cars consume less fuel on highway than city/urban cruises. all the same 11mpg is quite low so check another mechanic. Cheers
I used 34 litres for a 190KM journey yesterday
I don’t think it’s bad for a 3.5L V6 engine

Evening bosses,
Mr es350 2008 engine cover was removed at the port. I suspect the clearing agent might have hand in it.
My Mech said cover is 65k and it's quite much for my pocket now, so I'm looking for where to get this cover at least for now and the the the likely price

Hello guys,

I use a Es330, I noticed recently that whenever I’m on the highway driving the engine is very loud... I thought maybe The exhaust pipe was leaking but the mechanic said it’s not... whenever I’m accelerating, there’s always this revving sound... I don’t know what’s wrong.

My brother your problem be say you no get problem - you're also lucky your mechanic isn't in the mood to "obtain" you.

You don't want to be within ten feet when I'm in the mood to have a go!

No boss, the octane rate of the gas might be different

Modern engines are designed to retard timing to accommodate the lower octane rating. Then you are supposed to use octane boosters.

Note Mercedes Benz is driven in Nigeria and they also require high octane fuel.. Yet we get close to factory or factory MPG.

UNLESS LEXUS FORGOT TO COPY THAT FROM MERCEDES BENZ

You seem so so bothered about MPG over anything else on your Lexus, yet, you own a premium SUV.

Well, since you're interested in getting to the root of the matter, run a live data scan on the car and a normal scan to pick up codes.
Take note of the live data recordings and post pictures of the readings here for my interpretation then we'll take it up from there.

Truth is i ignore some of these readings that flicker on the dashboard...because there are confusing. What I am more concerned with is how much fuel do i buy on my normal routine driving. Now I regularly buy 6k fuel once a week for my car and i even get left over at the end of the week before top up.
Another thing we have to consider is that some filling stations mix all sorts of chemical in the PMS before selling them. All these adulteration dey affect how fast the PMS dey burn. I have experienced it

Is it a new car? If you have been driving it....did you just notice the noise/rev? Unusual engine noise should not be ignored because that's the heart of your car. Check for the basics ..eg ensure there is enough engine oil and since it's an ES 330 check the service and maintenance history, timing belt, water pump etc. Then check wheel hub and bearing, all of them dey contribute to noise. Cheers

You’re right, tho I’ve been getting about 15MPG lately
But the truth is, some gas station sells shitty fuel which burns faster, I’m still trying to get the station that sells better, cos I didn’t notice this on my previous car, I only keep tabs on the gauge, but now I will keep tabs on everything atleast until I get a station that sells better fuel.
Spending less than 30k on fuel monthly is very good, some spends more than that to fuel their generators.
What year is your RX?
