amazing gas mileage
i just got home from my Florida(my honeymoon) and since i drove the car there from NY, and back i am amazed at the mileage i got
i only had to fill the tank 3 times
i got anywhere from 450-525 miles per tank, and was driving no less than 75 the entire way, and when i did fill there was still 3 gallons left in the tank.
total trip was 1165 miles from my doorstep
normally i get about 200-250 per tank, so i was super amazed

Yes, congratulations on your wedding. And I agree about the amazing mileage. I made a 910 mile trip last weekend and the computer says 34 mpg, 63 mph average speed. I think sophisticated engineering pays off.

I was blown away by my gas milage on a recent 1200 mile trip in the TL. Averaged 41 mpg and that's with having the cruise set at ~65 mph for the whole trip 
Congrat's on the gas milage .... and the wedding .

AVB for President!
Yeah, at 62-65mph, I get around 34-36 mpg. No kidding! Of course, I even rev up to mid 70s when I have to (but I let it back to the former level after a minute). This test was conducted three separate times with trips 30-50 miles in length.

One on the right for me
i had the TL at 83mph average and the mid showed over 30mpg...33 or something. i posted what it was on another gas thread about a year ago. i was really happy with the mileage.

Congrats on your wedding and gas mileage. 
I have a NY to FL trip tentatively planned for next month and CAN wait to see what gas prices will be up to by then. What pisses me off is that I've never seen my highway mileage go above 27-28 at speeds of 75+ as our TL's are probably one of the only models out there where the automatic gets better highway mileage than the manual, DESPITE Acura's advertising to the contrary for '04.
