Fuel efficiency of V6
I usually get around 8.0L/100km or 29.4mpg on the highway on my V6 Tech TSX. Today, when I was on my way back home from my parent's house, I decided to see how fuel efficient this car is by being easy on the gas pedal.

6.6L/100km or 35.6mpg Not bad for a v6!

Drive behind trucks guys and don't stop at stop signs. I increased my mileage by ~5 mpg!!!!

Not entirely but that's the average of each tank for my routine commute round trip between home and work. I would say 70%/30% local/highway, respectively however, these "local roads" are 45mph limit, single lane.
Average speed displayed on the MID is 29mph.
And yes, 25mpg is all I got.

TSX mileage etc.
Can't speak yet for highway mpg for my 2011 I-4 TSX. It;s average 25 + around local driving rarely above 50mph and alot of stop/go.
Funny but our 2003 TL got 32-33 on trips and local about 22mpg. V6, Reg. gas. Sold it.
We also have an 07 ES350. V6. again in the 32-33mpg highway and roughly 22 local. Amazing how close they were.
Hoping for 32-34 on highway in TSX. but no longterm highway miles since we bought end of 2010. Hopefully soon.

I am averaging 27+ in mixed driving. Most of my HWY driving happens in an area where there are hills. When I had my V6 Accord, I got about 23 mpg under the same conditions.
I hope to get closer to 30 once the car breaks in a little more. Right now, I'm driving like a maniac, getting used to the feel of the new car.

I believe it. 2nd generation TL's could get low 30's without a problem.

Sure, but 5mpg is a pretty big margin.

BUT i will say though it does not happen all that often though, normally it's high 20's

Without knowing the driving conditions and if the MID was checked (liters/km) the number is not valid.
I can drive my I4 on 40-45 mph roads in my area with minimal stops and exceed 36 mpg if I am careful. But that is a sweet spot of the engine/trans. In my normal commute (about 50/50) I am averaging 28/29 being very easy on it and 26/27 driving a little more aggressively. I am very happy with this mileage from an I4 in a heavy car.

I got this with 95% highway driving at 50% (95km/h) and 50% (115km/h). The roads were dry and there wasn't much wind. I used cruise control pretty much the whole time. I have so far gotten just over 400km with my fuel gauge exactly at 1/2. Once I refuel I will check how accurate the MID.
