MPG Chart: Post in Your MPG Data!!

After almost 17k miles (3625 were not recorded) here is the chart of my MPG. Hope this helps people in terms of what the average MPG for the TSX is (Or at least the ball park)

There was a mistake. I forgot to average out the second column.

After dividing the Sum of column B by 41, it seems like I'm averaging 25.5MPG

Also, I forgot to add one other vital information: 60% Highway, 40% City.

Ummm. . . on 07/04/04, how did you manage to get 18.75 Gallons of fuel into a 17.1 Gallon fuel tank? Typo maybe? 16.75?? Anytime I've gone into the 400's + my mileage was generally 30 MPG+ as high as 33.

I figured the sauceman would be the one to put up numbers like this.
But then again with as much as he drives the charts would be way too long.

Great stuff!

Damn I've been getting some really really crappy milage. I got the best milage when I was driving my car when I first got it, now my milage is just horrible. The best (I haven't been keeping a written record) I did around 423 miles and had to fill up 14 some gallons. Now on campus I stop and go more times going from one quad to the other than most people will stop and go all day long. I'm at half tank now and I've only gone 100.4 miles. I know the milage gets better near the end (i don't know if it's due to a lighter tank or the "non-linear" gas guage) but still, and this is without racing down every block too.

29.59 was the best MPG I've got so far, and the worst obviously was the first fill up.

I'll try my best to get 30mpg+ before the year 2005

Do you have AT or MT? Are you a lead foot or feather foot?

On a trip that was 80% highway I managed to get 33.4mpg

I was smiling like a madman because while doing the highway driving I averaged about 78mph....

70-72 when I was being cautious about speeding....and 85-90 when it was clear sailing. So its not like i set the cruise or anything...

THE TSX ROCKS!

Iamhomin, this thread is a great idea, so I edited your title in order to encourage everyone to post in their own data if they have any.

So the message is up for everyone, post in your data like iamhomin did. It will help us all get a good global idea of the mpg performance of the TSX.

As for me, I will be posting my data on a monthly basis.

I'm at around 24mpg average with mostly city driving. High average of 30 mpg with low average of 18mpg. Fuel consumption is generally very good unless I decide to really drive hard.

My first fillup, I made a trip between 2 cities, 170mi apart. I filled up the car, did about 90mi city driving, and then made the trip. Drove around that city, and then filled up, got 31mpg. Then after that drove back and filled up (100% highway), got 33mpg. This was on 98 octane premium.

I just started to that on my last fill up.

The reason why I didn't do it before was because I kept a log of my mileage in my manual every other week.

Good to know I'm not the only freak who religiously jots down needless logs.
