How do you guys think I can actually drive way more than 600 miles with a single gas tank?
CJams, ALL of the premium went in the TSX's gas tank. Not in the trunk, in the tank. Why would I lie? I've never BS'ed on this board, and I'm not about to.

But if I were to drive a full tank in the same conditions as in my test in June, it would have been 820 miles.

Add me to the 500 mile mebership list!
This was also the worse week for traffic in a while. It took me 2 hours 20min to get home today. I am still gonna squeez a few more miles out of it before I fill up, but I was just so happy I wanted to share it with everyone.

Is there an official number (from acura) of how big the tank is?!
I mean the stretch from a 50L to a 70L is huge! (extra 20$ a fill up!)

Thank goodness Honda makes great engines that are pretty good handling garbage, but several mfgrs who have sensitive engines (like the VW 1.8T) promote this among their service staffs.
That being said -- good luck on your quest! (This is not sarcastic -- I got 490 out of a 1989 Civic that had a 12 gallon tank driving in the Southeast on I-95 behind a truck).

Although there has never been a reported problem with the expansion tank being filled in the TSX; the V6 model of the Accord between 1998-1999 had an issue with an emission part needing replacement as a result of overfilling.
