10,000 miles!!

My RDX hit 10,000 miles today, and I have to say that I like the car even more today than I did when I first got it. I am totally comfortable in the thing, we've even had some snow now and it's done great in the stuff.

The few nit-picks aside (memory seats, remote hatch, etc), it's really a great car. Great tunes, great handling for the type of car it is, and it's got balls.

Since you've probably logged the most miles of anyone yet, what has your mileage been for city/hwy? Glad to hear you are loving it more than ever, that is a good sign!

I haven't kept a log book, but everytime I check the display, it's around 20. The best I have ever seen is 23.5 on a highway trip (moderate - not aggressive driving)

My milage has gone down and I know why.

The first few tanks were used in very nasty weather where I took it really "easy."

I was unused to the vehicle and it took a while before I hard-drove it.
Hence, my once 24mpg reading has converged to about 17.

But then I've never much cared about the price of gas.

My best so far has been around 19 but I don't do much highway driving. Still in the "break in" period, though, so I'm sure it will go down shortly.

Ya I'm not getting good mileage either, just hit 1,000 miles, and I'm at 16.5 mpg for the whole 1,000 miles.
Took a 500 mile road trip this past weekend, and only averaged 19-19.5, that's dissapointing.
My previous Murano would average 22-23 mpg on the highway, and I thought the RDX would exceed that

Congrats to both oblio98 & snowboard1 to that many miles & still enjoying!
I don't drive many miles (like I use to!!) so I only turned over 1600 today & I've had it since 10/12/06.
As far as mileage, as cold as it has been here & I drive stop & go 99% of the time, my mileage is usually about 15.9-16.6. As soon as I get on the Hiway, (only twice) it shots up to about 22.4.
Any speed over about 45 mph, it seems to climb alot. Short trips, in cold weather, stop & go a lot, it's starts at around 13.9 after fill up's & goes up from there! I really LOVE this car, so I'm happy overall.

I bought my car in September and I am still enjoying it. Have not had the chance to get in any serious snow, but so far it is great! I awas wrong I have 14k! As far as the Mileage. I feel my mileage dropped a bit from when I got it. On I 95 from Philly to DC with cruise control I was getting 24-25 consistently for the first two months. Now it is more 20-22. I was wondering if it has anything to do with the switching to the oxygenated fuel for the winter?
