...at least for highway driving. I was a bit disappointed when the computer kept displaying 20-21mpg during my daily commute to work in Los Angeles traffic. I had a road trip over the weekend to Santa Barbara, about 300 miles round trip, two passengers and I got 28.5 MPG! That's the highest ever, and I was surprised to hit that with the manual transmission. I had mostly highway mileage, but I did drive some city and my speed was in excess of 80mph many times, and had two extra passengers. I was also stuck in some traffic for about 40 minutes of the trip. I only got 1200 miles on it after the trip..so it's not even considered broken in. Overall, I was amazed that I hit the hwy mileage figures for the first time. I think I had to credit the TSX with his low Cd of drag. This car simply flies on the freeways

When I travel on all highways, I get over 30 MPG routinely. When some city driving is mixed in, I get between 26-29 MPG. The fuel mileage is impressive in this car.

I kid you not, I AVERAGED 37 MPG on my 1 hour trip from NJ to PA a few weeks ago. I just filled the tank before i left, and when i got home i check the trip computer. Just keep those RPMs at 3K or less.
On my way back from North Carolina for one stretch of road we averaged 34 MPG. Its possible with this car, you just gotta baby it.

4 months w/3685 miles. About half of the miles are trips.

No difference with easy driving
Maybe someone else has noticed, but in my case my car gets around 21 in stop and go driving whether driven hard, in vtec often, or by my wife who really, truly putters with it. I found that very odd.

As for fdl's idea, I will calculate the actual overall mpg manually and compare that to the navi mpg figures. It'll be interesting to see how close it is to real MPG figures.

This cant possibly be true. Maybe your wife is secretly street racing with it!

Ok... that's not bad so while you don't get the best mileage in the city you are saving money by not having to drive as far. I drive about 350 miles a week (work travel, not including weekend).

I have 15,092 miles on my TSX as of today. I drove the car a lot over the summer....I just couldn't let go of her during that time.
I averaged around 2,500 a month. Back in June I drove to NYC and Washington DC in my TSX to see friends. Also drove the TSX to Iowa City, Kansas City, Indianapolis, Toronto, Canada. I did a lot of travelling in my TSX.
Currently, I am driving my Accord beater more now.

Also I'll say it again, calculate your mpg manually cuz teh trip computer is unreliable.

Calculate your gas mileage based on fillup-to-fillup miles per gallon. The trip computer is misleading.

Then again, its giving you an average mpg vs our actual. Maybe the method it uses for sampling produces inherently high figures??
...maybe one of these days I'll setup a website for mpg tracking.

For those of you who got excellent mileage, I just wonder how long (or how many miles) it took you to break in your car, before you got those impressive numbers?

Still has not broken in yet. When i got the 28.5mpg, i didn't even have 1200 miles on it yet. Just a lot of hwy miles, few city and stop and gos. It would be a while again before I get that kind of nice mileage, since i commute in stop-and-go traffic
