404 miles to the tank!

Well, I finally let the tank go down to almost E.... My fuel low light came on, but I was surprised to realize that I went 404 miles! I used BP premium in it... And I went on the highway once, to and from, a total of 100 miles of it. The rest was city! I averaged 26.3 miles according to the indicator. I am impressed with the size of our tanks, and the mpg ESP in city for a 200 up 4 banger.

What type of mileage and range are you guys getting?

Love this car. She has 2200 miles now... I remember when she had 10!!!!

I've hit close to 500 miles on a tank on our trip down south a month ago. I averaged 34MPG across 3 tanks, but it was alot of freeway.

I average 24-25MPG daily driving, some city, some freeway and some traffic, probably average speed of around 25MPH. I've been driving a '12 Mercedes C250 this week (loaner -- TSX got dented and is in the shop) and I'm averaging 22MPG with same type driving.

I've been consistently reaching 525 miles per tank. Virtually all freeway driving at 70 MPH w/ the AC on. But on premium fuel.

Absolutely love this car.

I don't think I've gotten less than 400 miles per tank before I fueled it up. The car is definitely very good on fuel and has really good range all things considered.

I normally get about 450 miles of 60% highway 40% backroad driving. We took a trip yesterday @ 70 mph and we were getting 33mpg, i was stoked.

I'm interested in what i average when we go to Vermont.

Lately I've been getting shit for MPG's. Like 18-20, and around 350 per tank. All City driving, but it has never been this bad before.

For a road trip, 500 miles on a tank is easy cake, even for the v6.

With city driving, mpg is wayyyy different depending on average speed.

Man after reading this i think i got it gooood .. i vet 500 + on my tank each week, i drive mostly highway miles, but as of this week ... i filled up sunday night.. went to work and back from the beginning of the week till thursday(today) and going to work tomorrow also. My round trip per day is 80 miles (strictly home to work and back)

When i filled up i was able to kick it up to 19 gallons of gas on the tank. started off at 570 miles on the range, after traveling 300 miles (monday - thursday (today)) i still have half a tank left and have 250 miles on the tank to go till empty

I average about 28 in mixed driving with some hills. If I do only hwy, I get around 34 so 500 miles to a tank is certainly doable. I also always drive with the climate control on, and I assume that steals a little bit of mpgs. Finally, although I am "old", I certainly don't drive like I am ;-) so my mileage suffers from that.

gas tank is about 18.5Gal, just sayin =P and the range never includes reserve which is somewhere between .5 and a gallon, thats after your range hits 0.

crazy how different the TSX and MDX are right? my 2011 MDX gets like 15-18 highway/city, my TSX will get like 25, but in a race, i think the MDX would cream the TSX, atleast thats what the engine sounds like hahaha

Ant that the truth? I used to have a g35 coupe too. Tsx is more refined for sure. Better mpg is a bonus.

I am averaging 25-26 MPG in around town driving on my TSX. Best to date MPG was on a road trip to Richmond VA and back avgeragin 35 MPG ~ 70 MPH. Now, my RX8 is a different story.. The little 1.3 rotary engine averages 16 MPG on my spirited back road adventures.

Damn! I was thinking the G35/G37 would get atleast 20-22mpg, but 17 ?!

When I was shopping for a sedan, the G37x was on top of the list. I test drove both and liked both a lot. The handling, sound system and the surprisingly peppy yet fuel efficient 4 cylinder won for what I needed in a sedan (plus the G was going to be over $10k more)

I would say I've driven about 40% highway and 60% local and I got about 340 Miles on my first tank (dealer fill up). I'm guessing my Mpg will go up as I break in the car?

^^^ that number will go down fast when you push the pedal down. Lol
I don't think that means you got 650mpg last time...

I've seen that number go from 570 to 400 after a 10min drive.
