Yo Everyone.

so this is beginning to bother me alot with my TL.

I think its sucking more gas then it shoudl be

when i drove a 1.6L civic Si. i got around 450-500KM (279-310 miles) per Tank.


now with my 3.2TL

a full tank of Premium Fuel gets me around 400 KMs (248 miles)per Full Tank

is this the same stats you guys are getting?

MikePA

I get 22 - 24 mpg doing 50/50 highway/city driving.

vinnyvo

how much is that if lets say

you fill your tank up. then drive it till EMPTY

how many miles would you get?

bmoreTLS

Yeah, the gas mileage isn't all that great on my type-s either... I get about 280 - 300 to the tank... 300 if i'm driving more highway. Usually the best after an oil change, but only like one or two fill ups after that... then more like the 280 range.

bmoreTLS

maybe you'd wanna try some fuel injector cleaner?

2003 TLS (bone stock) 57k miles... I'd say mostly city driving, I get 300 miles before the low fuel light goes on. That averages out to ~23mpg. On long trips (my house in VA) I've gotten 450 miles per tank, which equates to ~30mpg.

For example, I made it from my house in NJ to Roanoke VA on one tank of gas.

Hey NJ Aegean.....what type of city you drive in...i get maybe 280miles at its best and i do both highway and city driveing for work everyday.

How are you getting 300 miles from...tell me your secret!!

TLofNYC

I drive in NYC, I don't know exactly what I am getting (MPG), but it is not good. I just got this car, my old car was 99 toyota solara, I never put gas in the toyota......that thing would run on fumes....

Have a 02 tl-s usually get 26 city/33 hwy, Depends on the type of gas you use , the "oxgynated" type will get you less gas mileage. Read the pumps beofre you pump. Union 76, Sunoco, and shell seem the best. Bp ,and sheetz are the worst.

guys do a little search on this subject. its been beaten to death. there is no miracle cure that will get you better mileage. my car idles all day long and has a mixture city hwy and i never get less than 280 to a tank. when hwy only its well over 350, typically closer to 400. and on occasions i have gotten over 400 to a tank.

change your driving style, and look for gastations that DONT mix ethanol in their fuel. it hurts mileage, and try different brands of fuel

samkws

so what kind of MPG you want to get?? same as the Civic?? i guess you should stuck with ur CIVIC if you want gd mileage

you are talking about 2 totally different car, one is 1.6L and one is 3.2L and displacement already doubled, and and twice the horsepower.

it's kinda nuts when u try to compare a civic and a 3.2TL coz you are talking about a slice of bread and a gourmet sandwich

back to the stats....

i drove my gf's 1.6EL and i get 8L/100km with tons of beating

a 1.7L loaner civic is even better with only 7L/100km

a 2005 corolla loaner is more powerful but it gets me the same 8.5L/100km over the 3 weeks of beating

my 3.2TL has been getting 10-11L/100km during summer and 11-12L/100km winter even with quite a few VTEC fun, which equals to 500km b4 the light is on

i do have a light foot thou it helps you to get 50km more, and use A/C off so you will get a little better mileage, i have even done a 700km trip from montreal and only used 50L, that's equal only 7L/100km even i drove 140km/h all the wah

honestly 10L/100km for a V6 is very impressive, even a 2.5L Altima or Lancer RallyArt has the same mileage. i am very happy for my car. btw 3.2TL is one of the best V6 in fuel mileage, so be happy

during the week, in Hunterdon/Somerset/Morris Counties, usually in rush hour traffic scenarios... there's no real secret, but I do not beat on my car all that much. I consider highway driving to be trips 30 miles or more with the ability to stay at a constant speed for the length of the trip (ie., my driving to roanoke VA).

On weekends, Newark/Union/Hoboken areas...

I use Sunoco 93 gas and put in STP fuel treatment after every oil change (3k miles). Nothing out of the ordinary......

Bxscig

lol just a bit more than me. I get about just that 235 for 13 gallons or so.

MikeekiM

My gas mileage s*cks...

I do mostly city driving, nothing super aggressive... I get between 16 and 19 miles per gallon...

Doubtit

2003 TL-S

Last weekend Atlanta to South West Florida and back. 33 MPG averaging 70 MPH.

Around town, no freeway, 24 MPG.

EOBrien

We have a 03 Type-S. We're quite pleased....of course we own an Explorer V8 to average things out.

On wonderful CA Gas (91 Octane, Oxygenated w/Decaf lowfat latte mocha) we are getting 22 city/ 31 hwy, 24-25 mix.

LacViet

My 03 TL-S has average of 350 miles until the light turn on which roughtly aroudn 24-25mpg with 40/60 local/freeway driving. For those who live in CA, you know how the freeway traffic during the rush hours!

Bxscig

All highway I get 35mpg even fully loaded with 4 people and luggage otherwise 50/50 city/highway I get like 18mpg

pmptx

Listen to this man. It is all about driving style. I do mostly highway, and my low fuel light ususllay comes on at 360 mi-400mi. at 15 gal/ about 26-27 mpg.
Bettre when I am lighter of foot, worse when I feel the need for speed.

MarcDavidoff

It really matters on alot of what others have said on this post and a thousand others- type of gas yes, but even more important the way you drive and the type of driving you do. I usually get at worst 24mpg and at best 32mpg or so. Average is usually 27/28mpg with some hwy, some stop and go, and some lead footing it

Shift_it

I do not have the "S" model. But I run 87 oct and I get about 270 miles on 12.26 gallons. So that is about 22 mpg.

vinnyvo
