I'm getting roughly 15-17 mpg for city driving... it's really killin me here, i get under 200 miles per tank. i admit i do drive a little hard but i don't believe it would make a big difference.. my friends tell me it's because the car isn't broken in yet but is that the case? My car has about 1500 miles on it.. your is appreciated

 

I agree with your friends that your car isn't broken in yet. Wait till you have several thousand miles in and you'll see an improvement. If you want to investigate this further, there's plenty of threads that talk about this. Just use the feature.

 

It does....

 

MT or AT? What RPM does it shift at? Do you use 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or full throttle when taking off from the lights?

 

at around 1000 miles that when my gas mileage was going up. when i got my car i was getting uhh around 19mpg mixed now im up at 27 believe it or not

 

i don't think it's the matter of broken in or not, b/c i am at 8,000 miles, and from my gas consumption data, for most of my tank, i got 16ish mpg per tank, that's around 210 miles per tank. my worst is 14.7 mpg and the best is 18.7mpg for pure city driving. btw i don't drive hard at all......

 

Those are some real shitty mileages you guys get. I wonder what the cause is. I drive in nasy cold Canadian winters and usually drive aggressively(depending on how warm the engine is), but never manage to get below 22mpg.

My average is a steady 28mpg

 

i donno, sometime i blame on my CAI........but i was convinced by some AZ members that it is due to the numbers of traffic lights i got from my house to my school.......hum......wonder how you get 28mpg >_<

 

uh i drive an AT i throttle like 1/4 or 1/3 about on lights i guess? but i get like 200 miles per tank... i've actually gotten like 14mpg and the best was like 22 mpg with ALL highway

 

Wow...that sucks. I get way better milage for city driving too! I don't remember, but I think I uaually get 450-500+ km/tank

 

you guys need to let your car coast more!!!

 

I get around 24-27 and shes got just about 7k on her

 

I got 31 mpg when we took a trip to the Grand Canyon with 4 people in the car plus luggage. I usually average 24-27 mpg mixed driving.

 

18-20 pure city here.

I wish I could trade someone who gets 25+ MPG pure city cars for a week. Then we could truly find out if it was my driving style

 

Yeah this is BS. I am averaging 15 mpg. My low was 11.6 and my high was 16.7. I told the dealer but they keep blaming my intake.

 

I get 23mpg city driving, with CAI/Pulleys/Headers. I use Mobile 1 Syn. My car got 40k miles on it.

 

Holy crap! 11.6mpg with a 4 cylinder Honda engine?!!!! That's worse than a Hummer!

I don't know how you drive, but based my experience with the TSX and the number of times that I drove the crap out of my car, I would say it's almost impossible to get that kind of mileage even if I redlined every gear and came to a stop every 200 yards.

Try to drive like a grandma for a full-tank and see if you get 20+ mpg. If you don't, then there's something majorly wrong with your car.

 

I know something is definitely wrong but fucking Acura is so damn lazy to not even look at my car. Such BS. I'm going to take it somewhere else to have them check it for me.

 

I do mixed city and highway and i get 24 consitent with an odd 25mpg....
I have got 32 all highway, from colorado springs to sacramento with intermitent heater... and about 250 pounds of luggage

It just depends on how much you accelerate....
I v v important thing that i noticed, if i take off easily at a stop light and then forsee traffic and let the feet off the gas paddle and just brake when required, rather than accelerating till the point you need to brake, improves my milage tremendously....
you could see the effect of this on the multi function display, when you release the gas paddle, the instant miles would show above 60 mpg.

 

You are right! I do 13 mpg on my H2.

 

i got 360 out of my first tank of gas. ran it all the way down till the info gave me 10 miles left.

filled it up with 91 (prev was 89) and after the first 78 miles it's already down a quarter tank. wtf?????

at this rate i'm getting about 40 less mpg with 91 vs 89 octane

 

Evan with the recent ethanol changes and etc...
i usually get at least 350 miles per tank and i'm easy with the ocassional rip on the throttle. I used to get over 400 miles per tank average and almost 500 miles per tank when i do almost all highway driving.

 

Well, according to the "new" EPA estimates (can be found at www.fueleconomy.gov), the TSX is now rated at 19/29 mpg IIRC.

However, I was always closer to the old estimates of 23/32. In suburban driving (back roads, stop & go traffic, and no highway), I get 24-28 mpg. I get in the 30s on the highway. Can't wait for the weather to warm up b/c my mpg did drop to around 24 once it got cold.

 

I average 21 in the city, with some high way and usually my average is 24... If its all highway its more like 34.... M6 btw

 

The low mileages have to be the result of driving styles or mechanical problems because even when I drive my car hard, I have a hard time replicating the type of super low mileage that some people are observing.

Just a thought...are you guys constantly on-off the gas? This actually uses up more fuel than if you were to just maintain a steady state on the gas pedal.

 

Any chance you've got one or more brakes sticking? Parking brake? Jack up a rear, and, with parking brake "off", see if you spin the wheel will it go around 3 or 4 times, or just once.

 

that's strange... even in the worst Atlanta city traffic, my 6MT (with 18,000 miles) gets 20-24 mpg, combined with highway for a weekly average of 26-29 mpg. I fill up every 350 miles, and it takes 12 gallons to fill her up.

 

Its likely your driving style. All the tips say to avoid hard braking....that's technically wrong....what they meant to say is that you should use the brakes as little as possible by simply coasting (no gas pedal) as far as possible. In Toronto, I usually get anywhere between 1-10 looks a day in my 30km drive; they think I'm accelerating too slowly and braking too slowly. But I get to my destination in a very good amount of time....its a challenge but move into top gear quickly and coast/light throttle. Also snow tires can harm mileage...check your tire pressures move them up to close to 34-35lbs.

 

It's not like I have choice. I live in NY and there are stop lights or stop signs on every block but someone I know gets 25 mpg and it's a TSX 05 too.

 

I used to get 16 mpg/city, but now I'm getting 19. I have 2950 miles and it's slowly improving. Maybe it's because I drive 3 minutes to work each way...does that affect it?

If it's highway I get about 22.

 

My car has about 2800 miles on it and I am getting 25mpg driving around town with no highway interstate driving.

 

you cant be kidden right? 22 on the highway? i think you need to learn when to ease off gas, when to apply and how much to apply...

 

Hmmmm, maybe I speed too much... going 70-80 mph isn't that bad on the hwy. Some other threads say it will improve after several thousand miles, I don't gas it that much.

 

it definetly will! but even before its broken in you should be getting more than 22 on the highway...

 

ive had my car for a month and get at least 25mpg with about 60% highway and 40% city.

 

Going 70-80 on the highway still doesn't qualify as highway mileage if you're only going to a job that is 3 minutes away. By the time you accelerate up to 80 you need to start slowing down to your offramp.

 

Ok after reading all the informative posts, my mileage pales in comparison!!!

Note to self:
Stop driving like a maniac
Drive on the freeway for more than a few miles
Stop using AC 24/7

I hope this helps because I'm getting paranoid that something maybe wrong with the car.

 

heavy footed people having 11-18mpg in the city...
i personally think it's way too impossible for some of yall to get that kind of mileage.
i only have about 5k miles on it, and im getting 26 mixed, and i'm mostly driving to school and back
on the weekends im usually on the highway getting atleast 30mpg.

another tip:
- for AT people, when coming from a stop, try and accelerate to 2500-2700.
at first it will seem ridiculously slow, but it will definately work
- light FEET!

try that out...

 

Consumer Reports averaged 15mpg in the city for the TSX with an AT, so no surprise. I think also get 15 - 20 in the city in an '04 AT.

 

So I just filled up gas again and I got 13.9 mpg....
