What kind of gas mileage are you getting?

I hit the half tank mark this morning on my commute at around 235 miles (wasn't paying close attention). I normally hit half way around 200 miles. Seems like I have a good tank going here.

The point might be to warn the driver to get gas before running out.

Highway 10 from Houston to Santa Fe, for instance.
I drive roughly 65 miles a weekday, so a 2.3 gallon reserve warning has to be acted on pretty promptly. YMMV and probably does.

Here's an interesting answer from Tom & Ray, the Car Talk guys, talking about the ideal speed for high mileage.

My 07:
Computer = 28.7mpg
Actual = 23.7mpg
I think this is how people think they get such great mileage. My friend claimed he got 31mpg in his v6 camry. I called bs on it, he showed me his trip/nav thing said 30mpg. We went to fill it up, he got 23mpg, ha! The look on his face was so satisfying. My other friend claimed similar in his passat v6, computer = 29mpg, actual 22mpg.
I've never seen one of those trip computers accurate within 1mpg.

I've seen it within 1-2 MPG, but never a 5 MPG discrepancy. I suspect something else is at work in your case.
Disclosure: I have my TRIP A RESET ON FILLUP option. That's how I measure miles on a tank, not subtracting the old ODO from the current when I fill up.

i recently used Shell on couple of short to medium trips. there is a difference. I maintained higher speeds like 75 to 80 mph and still got 33mpg in 30 minute drives. and i was also looking at my needle how it behaves. 76/Arco i could only get 28mpg on those speeds.
city driving is even more interesting. up and down hills of sanfranco with 76/arco could only managed 23mpg. Shell fuel is at 29mpg. time to apply for shell credit card.

Update
Filled up this morning. As I indicated at the half tank mark, I had a good tank going. This tank was Shell V-Power 93 and I filled up with the same this morning. My indicator light came on at 417 miles. I stopped to fill up at 486.2 miles. The pump shut off initially at 14.617 gallons. Netting me over 33 MPG by those standards. I continued to pump in an attempt to find the actual "full" level. I went to 15.346 gallons and stopped. I still did not see any gas but I will continue my experiment until I find just how much you can fill past the initial pump shut off.
I am also going to drive like a grandpa on this tank to see just how much of a difference I can make. I am trying to keep the car under 3K RPMs and I have begun putting the car in neutral on significant downhill stretches. Will let you know how it turns out.

I discussed neutral -vs- engine braking with Wakura (I think) a while back, he noted that engine braking is actually better. I mostly agree but think it also depends on the situation - like, if you're going down a long hill or have a long flat stretch before a red light, and engine braking will slow you down too much, throw it into neutral.

I'm not a fan of putting a car into neutral for coasting. For one thing, you kinda need your car in gear for safety's sake. What if something unforeseen comes out and you need to accelerate? There you are, rolling ahead with your car out of gear, thumb in your _____.
I also recall the car talk guys answering someone who asked about engine braking to red lights, or just downshifting to keep from lugging, and their answer was very pragmatic. It takes a few hundred dollars to service your brakes. It takes a few THOUSAND dollars to service your tranny. Now ... which do you want to use for braking day in and day out?
When you are decelerating, or going down a hill, putting it in neutral has minimal mileage gains over just using a low-rpm gear and doing heel-toe to regulate speed IMHO, compared with the safety factor. YMMVAPW.

^ I have also read in several places that the injectors will shut off with no throttle input as long as the forward motion of the car keeps rpms above idle speed. So as long as your foot's off the gas, you can use engine braking without using any fuel.
Note: this is just what I read from other sources, not 100% sure about it

10th Gear
My wife and I bought an '08 TSX 5AT about 3 months ago and recently took a 2300 mile road trip. On this trip, we got 32 mpg with fast but not aggressive driving using cruise much of the time. The trip was mainly interstate at 70-75 mph with a few hundred miles of rural non-interstate driving at 55-60 mph. There was very little stop-and-go.
We bought 93 octane exclusively (didn't encounter any 91); the brands we used were Mobil, Exxon, Shell, and Costco.
There were 2 adults in the car and the trunk was stuffed to the gills.
I didn't attempt to top off the tank on fill-ups, but relied on nozzle shut-off. Looking at the differences between calculated mpg and the MID mpg, clearly there were times when the fill wasn't complete, but with 7 fillups, things average out. Overall our MID is about 5% optimistic, showing 33.5 mpg for the trip vs the calculated 32 mpg.
I'm very pleased that a ~200 hp car can get such good mileage at speed. We often saw 34-35 mpg on the MID while cruising in the 70s.
We started the trip with a tank of Mobil 93 octane and saw 31.3 mpg on the MID for the first 350 miles. The first fill-up happened to be at a Shell station, and there was an obvious difference with the CID showing 34.6 mpg over the next 400 miles of mostly interstate driving. I had not seen the posts in the forums about others' experience with Shell V93 prior to the trip. Then again, we got similar results from one Costco fill-up.
The trip was from the northeast to the mid-Atlantic states and back. A/C was running for some of the time, but not all.
Overall, we've averaged 29.4 mpg (calculated, not MID) over the ~4000 miles we've driven the car.
This is our first Acura (also first Honda product), and so far we like the car very much. It was a lot of fun to drive on the trip. We had driven Volvos for decades and chose the TSX to replace our 850.

Yeah, when I was a kid I used to downshift through all the gears in my '59 VW Bettle (at least from fourth to second). I told my dad about it and he asked me how much a brake job was compared to replacing the syncros to a transmission. I stopped doing it.

I plan on test driving it soon, but since you can compare I thought I'd ask. Thanks!
The TSX has a sportier (stiffer) ride than the 850 and probably handles better, but I'm new to the Acura, and the Volvo was traded in so I can't do side-by-side comparisons. I suspect you'll like the TSX. The gas mileage is better, and the engine has ~25% more horsepower.

Terpfan29, you probably have to confirm your e-mail address to be able to PM. I think.
HunterK1 ... YMMVAPW = "your mileage may vary and probably will."
As to coasting in neutral, I asked some experts:

For one thing, the car could stall (causing you to lose your power steering and power brakes) and you'd never even know it.
You might also refer to your state's driving handbook. It may have something to say about shifting to a lower gear at other than red lights/stop signs (e.g. steep hills). FWIW, North Carolina's does not. California's does. ... YMMVAPW.

Indicator light came on at 415 miles and I filled up at 486. Again, I used the very same pump as the previous fill-ups and used Shell 93. It was $3.79/gallon just like last week. The pump initially shutoff at 14.49 gallons. This netted me 33.5 MPG. I continued pumping in an effort to 'once-and-for-all' see how much more gas the tank will hold beyond the intial shutoff. This time I put a whole gallon in after initial shutoff. Still didn't "see" any gas. Amazing.

My 08 6MT has 5K miles now. The gas mileage is around 24.5 - 27.1 MPG with half half city/hwy driving. If I go a little more on hwy, MPG improves a bit. I guess if I make a long road trip from SF to LA on hwy 5, I may be able to get 30+ MPG.
In fact, my wife's 2002 TL-S consistently get 26 MPG or so. I think Honda has improved the AT gas consumption quite a bit in the past few yrs and it may be better than MT model now. I wonder if MT car will be extinct in US soon...

I'm trying the same experiment. I'm mostly doing it to see how much better I can get from baseline (according to the EPA, it's about 25mpg mixed). TSXinTN is seeing a 34% improvement, that's pretty good!
I'm just driving... calmly. Grandpas drive 10 under the speed limit everywhere, in the fast lane when they don't belong there, etc. I'm staying out of people's way, I'm just not driving like a maniac (which is more normal for me).

I filled up last week and the light just came on when i stopped at the pump. In my 1982 Honda Accord, the light would play peak-a-boo for about 20-40 miles, but in my TSX it comes on and stays on. I filled up 12.9 gallons on the pump, plus a quart of FE cleaner. So ... more than 2.3 gallons when the light first comes on.
