2007 TL-S Mileage Difference Vs. 08' Model

The 07'TL-S auto gets (19/28 city/highway)

According to the Acura website, the new 08'TL-S auto gets (17/26)

It seems like there were no changes for the 08' model.


Does anyone know if this is based on the new SAE ratings?

All cars are going down for 08. The EPA has new standards so not only is Acura ratings going down but all car companys.

From the EPA site:

EPA has changed the way it estimates MPG.
Starting in model year 2008, estimates will reflect the effects of
Faster Speeds & Acceleration
Air Conditioner Use
Colder Outside Temperatures

What else do I need to know about the new ratings?
The tests lower MPG estimates for most vehicles.

The actual numbers have been updated on the site, and now the '07 TL-S AT is 17/26:
2007 Acura TL 6 cyl, 3.5 L, Auto(S5), Premium 17 city 26 hwy

For a calculator to convert old mpg estimate to the new estimate, and additional info:
