Sold my '03 black FX35 to next door neighbor with 230k miles. Still getting 18 MPG or so, driving like I
Like to.

Newer '13 White FX37, has only 35,000 miles, gets 20 MPG.

I averaged 20-21mpg hand calculating it, on the drive from Denver. And I went wot at every opportunity. :D
 
how are you guys getting 20+ mpg? I did a test drive of 450 miles and 95% of it was highway with cruise control, and I was getting 18mpg.
My car is 2011 with 74k miles. Air filters recently changed, oil change every 5k miles (synthetic oil). What other factors are there that may help with mpg?

No idea. Though, a lot of the roads I was traveling on were 55-65mph limits, and no one else on the road.
 
I would also say the tire pressure makes a difference. I tend to keep my tires no lower then 33

I have to check my tire pressures but would cleaning the throttle body and getting new spark plugs help?

Throttle body probably wouldn't make any difference, but if your sparks are old, then new ones would help... Tire pressure would probably make the most change if your pressure is low...
 
60k on my 2010 FX50s. About 20k of that is driving to California to visit family once or twice a year. The motor however was replaced at around 42k due to a head gasket leak...so the motor is at about 18k (they replace the WHOLE shebang) :)
