dammit..then I have to figure out a way to get better mileage. I've already ran through fuel injector cleaner, replaced air filter, plugs, etc. Always have proper tire pressures....arrrggghh.

My last two tanks of mostly highway driving yielded:
339.6 miles using 13.21 gallons --> 25.7 MPG
and
264.9 miles using 10.09 gallons - -> 26.3 MPG
These results are for a 1999 TL with 178,000 miles running 93 Octane.
I've very happy with those MPG numbers but I've also seen 22 to 24 MPG with less freeway driving.

I've got a 2000 TL with 154,000 miles. There are no mods to the car. I've run both premium and mid-grade. I haven't experimented with regular because I don't want to tempt detonation. I notice no appreciable difference in mileage between the two. As long as the tire pressures are at spec and I don't drive over 75-80 mph, I still get 30-32 mpg. Since I live in southern Arizona, I always drive with the AC on.
