    I loved my LX450, 190,000 miles, triple locked, slee lift, armored. Felt invincible for everything i threw at it. But ended up selling it because gas prices killed me. I was averaging 11-12mpg, and that was without heavy footing. I think i'd fill up 20 gallons so it was pretty easy to watch 10 miles go by and be like there's $4 in gas haha. But yeah I wouldn't get one unless you have a daily driver, or you can afford the gas. I've been looking for something to replace it with but haven't found anything yet. Been tossing ideas of a 100 series, FJ60 with a motor swap, 3rd Gen 4Runner, or a Gen 2, 2.5 Monty.

    Economy isnt the forte of a 100 series either... over the last 3800 miles I have averaged 12.65MPG with a mix of city and highway driving, including a couple of road trips. This number is derived by taking the miles driven divided by gallons used including a correction for tire size.

    I've had few other SUVs after my 80 series, but came back to the LC in the 100.

    Thanks for posting the facts. I just wanted to mention it since I recalled it being something to consider!
