Sorry...but I wanted to brag.

I went on my first little roadtrip of 400 miles this weekend. I got 35.4 MPG. I could not believe it. It was mostly country road and small highway driving. Thank you TSX.

Big deal! I got 36.3 driving through Austin, TX!
The TSX does so damn well on the highway but I am lucky to get 20mpg in the city.

Yea i got around 35mph while driving pretty fast on a road trip as well.
I usually get at least 450 miles per tank in the summer with a good mix of highway/local

But uh... since Ga started using winter gas, this has dropped well below 400.

You're bragging about 35mpg? You haven't read very many of sauceman's mileage accomplishment posts have you?

Well, 35 MPG is worth bragging about IMO, if not just for the effort.

Is your TSX a 5AT or 6MT? How many miles on the car?

Meh...

I just rented a new Buick Lucerne and have been getting about 32 mpg in mostly highway driving.
Not bad for a 3.8L V6 with a 4 speed auto lugging around 500 lbs more than the TSX.


Now my 5 speed manual Sentra that gets 45 mpg is something to brag about

Never said it wasn't worth bragging about. It's still really good mileage for a 200hp car. But in comparison to you accomplishments... it sort of puts 35mpg to shame.

I haven't done much better than 35mpg myself and i've got 20k on my car. So... both of you keep up the good work.
