Thumbs up Best MPG

I'll say that I have been very pleased with the fuel economy I've been getting. When I was looking to purchase a TL I saw the EPA 26-27mpg ratings and had some reservations. I've been routinely getting 28+ in mostly highway driving. Yesterday I had a long haul and got this:



This was on a tank of Shell V-Power 92 octane with 10% ethanol.

I got 35 on a 240 mile trip across the state with a gale force wind mostly behind me for a lot of the tip. Got 25 coming back with the same wind.

I could have easily gone over 400 miles on that tank of gas. Something to shoot for I guess.

I regularly get 24 MPG around town (mostly back roads 30 - 40 mph) and if I really try can get 26 MPG. On the highway 29 - 31 MPG again depending on speed. I have the Type - S 3.5L.

I drive 90% city (15mph-45mph) and mine stays around 22-24mpg it seems. I might be able to do better but I'm usually mashing the gas and slamming on the brakes b/c I'm running late for class haha

NOTSKERDD- Haha, that's terrible. Traffic will kill any car though
