Post up your MPG's. 2.5, 3.2.
I am curious. I have read a few articles online about TL MPG. I am curious what everyone here gets.
98,000mi
I am averaging 22.7 BEFORE tune up. Half decent.

When I had my '98 2.5, I would get about 18-20 with a bad O2 sensor in mixed driving. After I got that fixed, It went up to 22-23 in same conditions. It's funny, because I get about 18-20 in mixed driving in my GTO, which weighs considerable more and has double the HP.

96 2.5, 124K miles.
50 mile commute to work ~ 25mpg (with a heavy foot)
or
1 mile 'commute' to train, and around town only ~ 20 mpg
Going to do tune up next week (plugs, wires, dist cap/rotor, pcv valve, fuel filter, air filter), but my mpg has always been around there for the last 4 years I've owned the car.

Also, I'm so surprised these numbers aren't better than they are. I would expect at least 25-27 in the 3.2 and a little less for the 2.5

I thought we had another thread about fuel mileage already...?
Anyhow, ~18 with the 3.2, ~25 with the 3.5. That's with granny driving for both. Normal for the 3.5 is around 22-23, 3.2 was probably 16-17.
~Cheers~
P.S. Don't ask what I get when I'm mashing it around,

I would expect better numbers out of the 2.5. My girlfriends Accord V-6 coupe gets 22 also I expected to get better than that.
I will post up after this next tank because I just had the tune up.

96 2.5 TL 214k all (mainly) highway miles...bought in 97, had just been traded in from a two year lease...only 16k on the car at that time.
In April of this year, wll be 13 years on the road...was put on the road in April '95!
25-26 MPG highway winter.........26-27 highway summer....70/75 MPH average
I fully plan to keep the car running and give to my teenage 17 year old son in the spring. I've been looking on Cragslist for another 1st gen TL ...heard of too many problems with the 2nd gen TL tranny. I'll have no concerns with buying a first gen with 100-125k miles...they last forever.

With my 97 3.2, Roughly 89,000 miles...
On a full tank of gas could go 320 miles before I hit E.
If I calculated it correct, that comes out to about 18-19 miles per gallon. (I drive in city traffic mostly)
Unfortunately, I took the cheap way out and used 89 fuel.
