I was just curious to know how many miles on a full tank you guys getting in a city driving???. I hit 255 on a full tank. I got 02 Type S with 79,000 miles with modifications listed. Please list your year and miles with it...

 

This has been talked about a bit if i remember right, just gotta seach it up.

I can get over 400 on a full tank doing mosty highway driving, 300 if mostly city.

All that with my over-aggressive driving habits as well. 00' with 180,XXX miles, never had any work like a valve adjustment done or had the heads off. I've got HELLACIOUS carbon buildup on my pistons as well according to my compression test (155-205psi). My only mod is basically XS headers and removed intake resonator w/ K&N filter that i never clean.

Try seafoaming your engine (search) and doing a forced fuel-trim relearn. It WILL help.

 

with normal driving i mean staying below 2.5k rpms highway and city combined ive gotten 350 on a full tank could have gone a lil more but the needle was at the line and i was scared of running out of gas

 

325 mixed highway/city...

 

250 if im lucky. that's with light pedal and 70% highway too

 

I get about 360 on a full tank doing city driving. When I'm driving on the highway I get around 450. I'm also a spirited driver as well.

 

300 ish

 

250-330 so far. Only had the car for 3 weeks now.

 

i usually get about 330-350 50% highway 50% city. Ive gotten over 400 on road trips though. If you are only getting 255 your doing something wrong

 

ive gotten near 500 many times.

 

Something is wrong there if you're doing 70% highway.

Driving mostly city, I typically get ~300 mpg.

 

1999 - 137,000 miles


I'm getting about 420 a tank (highway). About 340 city.

No more aggressive driving for me, I'm really light on the pedal these days.

 

I used to get 400+ on mostly highway and now only get between 350-380 with mostly highway so I definitely have experienced some loss in efficiency. when I had a 3 mile commute to school/work I used to get between 220-250 but I drive aggressively, meaning I will let the rpms get up high usually when casually driving around.

 

summer gas- tl-p about 375-400
winter gas- tl-p about 230-275
mostly highway and some city with a light pedal.

tl-s- no idea.

 

300-450 depending on the percentage of city and highway


Not to bad considering the engine our cars have

 

I get about 250-255 thats about 70% city I need to do some stuff though. Seafoam and some other things 03TL-S injen CAI and 75k miles.

 

Never got anything better than 400 but I average 325 a tank, mostly highway.

 

Average mixed driving and short trips not worrying about MPG I get ~320 miles until the gas light comes on. Very unscientific.
(Before getting an alignment, I was getting sub-300)

 

420 was my most.. usually 350

 

Well I think I had to change my driving habit...tried another week and went real smooth with the pedal and it took me 300 this time all city driving...thnx for all the comments guys..

 

seafoam the gas and intake manifold to increase mileage and performance
Consider replacing the spark plugs- city miles are `severe service` in the maitenance schedule
Drive like there is an egg under the gas pedal~

 

I get roughly 230 without going into the reserve... i have a 99tl with 145k miles... Also my O2 sensor is bad...

 

I need to seafoam hey Tom next time you come to a meet want to do it for me LOL

 

220

 

19 MPG...about 275 miles when the indicator illuminates. 75% city.

 

Dang, I think I need to Seafoam. I don't think I have ever gotten over 400.

In the Summer, I can get 380 65% Highway, 35% City. Now, in Winter I can't even get in 300's. But, I do drive aggressively. Most of my highway driving is 75-80 mph. I love to hear VTEC now that the intake resonator is off.

Alignment and Seafoam engine should improve it a bit.

 

My normal commute, which is 20% City and 80% Highway, i usually get between 340 and 360 and that is with a little more than 2 gallons left in the reserve... I drive about 70 to 80mph on the highway, but chill in traffic and in the city... slow starts from lights, etc. Something about the highway that turns my foot into lead...

Driving on long trips (i.e to Dallas, New Orleans, etc), I can get over 400 miles easy...

 

I went on a small road trip today to my Acura dealership which is about an 1 1/2 hour away. I filled up before I left and tank held like 14.2 gallons. Assuming the tank is equal proportions, when the fuel needle hit half mark I had traveled 215 miles. Half of 14.2 is 7.1. So, I used 7.1 Gallons to go 215 Miles. Dividing it up, thats 30.28 mpg.

Driving Conditions:
The fuel needle didn't drop to half until I was on my way back home on the highway. On the way to the dealership there is 45% Highway, 30% Hills, 25% City.

---On the highway I drove 70-75 with the cruise control on. I also passed 3 Semi's, gas pedal all the way down all three times. Highest Recorded Speed was 93 while passing.

---During the hills, I maintained a constant 65mph until briefly slowing down to 45-55 for 3 small towns. I also drove without the cruise control during the hills.

---City driving killed my mileage a bit. I didn't really know where I was going, so manuevers required more gas than necessary to get across lanes to exits, went down a wrong road 2 times, quick entry onto interstates, etc.

Mileage wasn't that bad considering it is Winter, but I didn't have the A/C on either. I was surprised it came out above 27mpg. If I made a mistake anywhere, feel free to chime in, as I am very tired.

 

^ Yea i would say after typing all that LOL

 

350-400 mixed highways/city

 

Depending. . .

70 MPHs and below. . .400+

70 MPHs and above. . .300 - 350

This also depends on how you drive it. If you are a speeder like me, around 300 is right.

TL Type-S
Stock @ 124000 Miles

 

little bit over 300 in mostly rush hour traffic and moderate VTECing

 

You cant calculate mileage accurately that way. The tank is asctually 17 gallons. You need to fill the thank back up and use the amount of gallons you filled it up with to calculate

 

Best was 430 full tank on a nice summer day. (Drove all day)

Average is 330-360 full tank winter or summer.

and I VTEC some times, but mostly just cruise.

 

Only azine member with tan lines from low fuel light!
I get 20ish in town, 30ish on hiway. I like mpg, miles per tank not as accurate.

 

w/ 118,xxx i get about 320-350ish

 

To get the best mpg possible on a flat surface and no wind, what would be the ideal speed to cruise for the whole time?

i am guessing between 50 mph and 60 mph, but i really dont know for sure. any numbers? thnx

 

shit. I guess I'm not the only one.

 

I would think around 48-50....since you would be in 5th gear and at the lowest rpm for that gear. Just a guess.

 

i got 01 TL 113k miles, stock everything except K&N which I clean about maybe every 2 oil changes. I get approx 350 every time at least, thats usually before the light comes on, everybody sounds right. It all depends where you drive, drive mainly on highways, about 70%. going at least 75-80. Only Razzi seems odd, 250 if he's lucky on 70% highway, should be 350 no prob. Maybe check the air filter, oil change? I switched to synthetic about 15k miles ago at 90k. also strictly use ultra from sunoco. hope this helps
