My flight is at 1825 on a Saturday. What time would be best to leave, 3pm or even earlier? I plan to spend a short time in the BA F lounge.

Depends what you mean by a "short time" in the BA F lounge?
At that hour of the day from downtown to IAD, it shouldn't take more than 40 mins, assuming to major traffic snarls on I-66. There is roadwork on I-66 and the DAR (Dulles Airport Road) related to the construction of the new metro to the airport, but that generally hasn't been too bad of late.

About 1 hour to 1 and a half hours.
Thanks for the advise, it's my first time in DC so I have no idea on trip times to anywhere, only what it says on Google maps!

Give yourself 45 mins for the cab ride, 5 mins for check-in (since you are in F), 30 mins (which is way too long, but never hurts to plan, 5 mins more to the gate. Call that 90 minutes. Add to that whatever time you want to spend in the F lounge. My recommendation: it's a Saturday in the fall in DC, enjoy yourself in DC. You'll have plenty of food & drink on the aircraft, so why not go straight to the gate and forget about the lounge.
