Wagon Gas Mileage
I just hit 2500 miles on my car. Overall average is 26.9 mpg. My last tank of gas was 33.1 mpg over 530 miles.
I'm quite impressed

Very nice, I used to average around 30 in my '09 before I learned that you were supposed to rev the shit out of a Honda... now I average less than 20.
I know that the 2011 models use 0w-20 oil, which must improve gas mileage slightly.
You are located in Norcal/So. Oregon? What are the gas prices like over there?

I keep records of all fill ups and so far the overall average is 26.7 and the best is 33.4 (all freeway driving). The car is 4 months old and has just under 5000 miles.

I just did my end of month calculations on my 2011 TSX Wagon Gas Mileage.
In 8110 miles, I've spent $1184.85 on gas, and the mileage is 26.36 overall. I've mostly used Premium but I have used a few tanks (or half tanks) of mid-grade when the price I've encountered was crazy (like $4.40+ for premium)
My best tank ever was 28.51 MPG

This is quite typical. My overall average since ownership is just under 28 mpg, nearly 3600 miles on the the odometer now.

I drive 95% city typically, in stop n go DC traffic between Fairfax VA and downtown DC, for those of you familiar, and I get about 22-23 mpg per fill up using 91 octane. I did go on a 150 mile drive (and back) recently and for the 300 total miles, did around 34 mpg, which included both babying it and highway passing, but cruising speed was typically around 75 mph. If had the restraint to stay around 60 mph, I wonder how close to 40 I could get.

To add, I actually did have one tank average 21.5 mpg. It was actually with Shell 93, but also during the week where temps were 100+ degs and I was blasting the AC while sitting in traffic. Not sure how big of a factor that was, but it must have hurt mileage somewhat.

LoL, had my car since mid March... I only have about 2500 miles on it... and I'm averaging about 25mpg... dunno if it's my driving... or old gas because my car used to sit in the garage for a week or two, only driven on the weekends (when my wife worked, if not, we drove her car, and I caught the bus to work)....
Started driving in to work this past week... we'll see where my mileage goes... all in all though, still pretty happy with it... My truck used to barely get 16mpg... so this is more than a 50% improvement on gas mileage...

Haha, damn you. I split time between the Metro and driving, but the Metro sucks, so I'm more than happy to sit in my own "space" for an hour each way. Averaging 23-24 mpg these days.

After about three weeks of mixed (30/70 city/hwy) driving, the wife and I are averaging about 24-25mpg. Not as good as I had hoped, but I do notice that NY formulation gasoline sux for mpg. If I fill up in CT or NH I often get 4-5mpg better, repeatable results, on all my cars. We're taking our first NY-to-NH trip with the wagon next week, so I'll have to reset the meter and see what we get over the 600 miles or so there & back.
