Question Part 2: What fuel economy are you getting??

Im making a new thread on this because 1) A lot of you have put some decent mileage by now, 2) In the other thread, members did not include the Average MPH (which is important), and 3) Maybe it will help reveal any trends.

Please try to use and copy this template:
Mileage:
MPG:
Avg MPH:
City, Highway, or City and Highway:
Gas station and octane:


I noticed when i bought my car a few weeks ago, I was getting 15mpg in the city and you can say I was disappointed However, this was on a lot of short stop and go, and when I checked the AVG MPH, I was averaging 17MPH. As the weeks went on I started incorporating in other routes in the city and I was getting 17mpg at an AVG MPH of 20. With this new figure I may be within the Acura quota

Please fill free to keep posting on new figures.

My driving has been conservative. I'll also add that calculated vs the computer mpg has been off about -/+ 0.5 mpg.

We've put on 777 miles since we bought our 2007 and averaged 20.11 mpg. The mix is about 70/30 highway/city.


I have a 830 mile trip from Indiana to North Dakota tomorrow so I'll get a better feel for the highway mpg.

You guys getting terrible mileage should try a seafoam treatment and most importantly staying out of boost whenever possible.

what's the seafoam going to do in a new(er) engine? If you notice the more miles the RDXs have, the better fuel economy....yeah, you can get better fuel economy by not accelerating, but you could get even better if you didn't drive the car....

Yeah I guess most of you guys don't have really high miles. Honda engines don't break in until a they are pretty high mileage too so I guess what you say is true.
