Gas mileage not as advertised

I only get around 30 mpg even in eco mode... I looked at the miles driven and the gas filled to calculate the mileage... it only gives around 30. I did these calculations for over 3 months. If you look at the lexus provided bars in the screen, it shows higher than 30 mpg... DO NOT TRUST THOSE MPG BARS... THEY SEEM TO BE RIGGED.

Check your mileage readings and gas filled to estimate the true mileage you are getting. I went to the POHANKA LEXUS dealer in VA and they did a test run on a highway for 30 min making sure to get close to 40 mpg on the mileage bars and told me that there is nothing wrong... That test itself is LAUGHABLE AND RIGGED to say the least... This will be my last lexus.
