What the Lexus LS sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the LS, latest tested year 2026:
The label also prints an estimated $3,650 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 440 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the LS under Midsize Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the LS's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 1990 to 2026. Worth checking before you compare a LS sticker from one year with another:
Over that span the combined figure rose by 3 mpg, so an early sticker and a recent one describe noticeably different cars. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
What a used LS sells for now
The label froze the LS price on the day it left the factory; the market has moved since, and this is where it landed: median asking price of the LS by model year, from 192 live US listings:

| 2018 | 9 listings | |

Where to find the VIN on a Lexus LS
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every LS, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Lexus LS all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Lexus LS whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
