i know there is roughly 3 gallon reserve.
i get about 280-300 miles til empty w/o burning my reserve.
so when i fill up, i put in about 14.xx gallons.

Chicken

about a full tank i get about 250-300 maybe even a little more depending how i treat the gas pedal

Slava

Between 420-450 Miles per fill up --> about 16 gallons each time --> so roughly 27/28MPG (that's about 85-90% highway)

My '04 5AT gets 320-340 miles with my 60/40 highway/city driving.

SilverUA5

Around 250, about 80% city.

XtraKrispy

I get about the same on my 6mt.

Ken1997TL

Well over 400 per tank.

brianp6621

Not to pick but somewhere the math doesn't add up (assuming you have 3G TL). It is pretty well known that when the light comes on you can only put 12-14 gallons in your tank. And if you MID says 30MPG that would mean worst case(14gallons), you could have gone 420 miles.

If you're getting close to 500 BEFORE the light comes on and you haven't added a second tank (haven't seen this mod thread) please let us know how (unless it involves driving 55 and pushing the car from behind at a stop)

trancemission

Ive been getting about 320 the last couple of tanks. Im happy with that.

can we talk canadian numbers??? lol

I get about 260 for city driving and around 440 for all highway. It also depends if I'm feeling froggy with the gas pedal. I would say my highway mileage went up 20 miles after installing my AEM intake!

with bout 450 miles on the car I just started my third tank. The first two the light came on about 230 mi with city/highway driving in the Manhattan/Brooklyn/Queens area of New York with some mild traffic. The communite is usually no more than 45 minutes total. I noticed the trip calculator accounts for the time, distance, and gallons for it's MPG rating...so when I'm standing on the traffic light it's counting the gas Im burning, almost makes me feel guilty about idling the engine. Hopefully I can eek out a little more...93 octane btw.

02 TL-S KiD

i have an 2003 tl-s and i average 160 -190 which suks my tank is17.2 gallons and i fill up full once a week how could i get more? i think its because i press on the pedal 2 hard

khiyal

For a test, filled up the tank, got the light at 149, put in 13.5 gallons. Thats the best you would get in Queens, NY.

rubberduckee30

I would have to put about 12 to 13 gallons to fill up....

sequoia

approx 420 miles.
MID says 27 mpg
about 20/80 city/highway
it cost me 60.00+ dollars to fill up my tank today. :ack:
montecito, CA

FightingTL

I am about 70% city 30% highway, I get around 310 a tank.

Formula 350

I have gotten over 400 miles in 5 of my last 6 tanks....

Best miles is 432 and best gas mileage is 30.2... usually put in 14 to 14.5 gallons..

gregdawg89

My first four tanks of mixed city & hwy have ranged from 23.6 - 27 ...

When the MID says 0 miles to empty how many miles do you really have left approx?

TL Maestro

I have a pretty wide discrepancy on my '02 TL. 350 miles on a full 17 gallon tank going highway, usually 280-300 city driving. But the fuel light usually comes on with a full 2 gallons left in the tank.

I'm not exactly sure, but I drove over 20 miles after the MID said 0 miles.

Try looking in the 3G Garage. There have been several threads on this. Or search for "MID miles to empty."

I'm not going to go into detail, but the key is to remember that the MID information about miles to empty is, and by nature has to be, an estimate based on your recent driving. You could be cruising along getting 30 mpg, then get slammed to a stop in a huge traffic jam, in which case your mileage would drop big-time. Conversely, you could be getting bad mileage in a traffic jam, then get past the problem and see your fuel economy improve. The MID estimates on the conservative side so that nobody can squawk, "Hey, my MID said I had 100 miles to empty but I ran out of gas."

AcuraSpoiled

My car is still pretty new so I am taking it easy on the driving. But so far I have been filling it up at around 240miles and the gas light hasn't come on yet. Only have 900miles on the car.

But I have to say it's a LOT better then my HEMI quad cab Ram that was only getting 11miles to the gallon. Glad I traded that in!!!

italian_spak

i think your getting poor mileage becus ur using poor octan fuel, use 91 octane+ and you will get 240miles + per tank, hope i was helpfull

Slava

I believe someone tested the TL from overspill to bone dry and the tank holds something like 19 gallons.

19 gallons x 35 MPG (mileage at ~55Mph on 6MT) = 665 miles per tank!! Now that would be interesting to confirm. Anyone wants to volunteer?
Of course I would shoot myself first, before I would drive 10/11 hours non-stop at 55Mph

2004Tru3Lov3

OK...

I drive 70% hwy and 30% city. My '04 TL does 11 L / 100 km. I normally fill up gas as soon as the light turns on and I normally put in around 45 L. When the light turns on, the MID shows somewhere between 400 to 425 km.

I'm happy with my car's gas consumption!

Cheers!

Schadenfreude

I commute 40 miles each way, and usually don't do much else until the weekend. So my tanks alternate...360 miles for pure highway, 320+ for adding personal short errands in the city.

I fill up once the meter tells me I have about 30 miles left of driving. At the highest octane, it's about $48 a tank.

My 05' get's the the same.....

Just pumped up today. 265 miles with 40 miles to spare.. meaning 305 miles with my 5AT at 70/30 highway/city.

I have reached the best MPG ever 2 weeks ago driving back from London, Ontario (Canada) to Prevost, Quebec.

Filled the car up before leaving London and had a few stops along the way.

Filled the tank at destination after getting the low gas warning light in stop and go traffic on Highways around Montreal.

This was accomplished with the car having 28,000 Km, a 2 week old fresh engine air filter of OEM design, A/C On and an average speed of around 120 Km/Hour.

I travelled 757kilometres and it required 51.6 Litres of gas to fill at destination.

For our Canadian Friends, this is 6.82 Litres per 100 Km.
1 Kilometre = 0.6214 miles

In Imperial Measures (Imperial Gallons = 160 ounces or 4.546 Litres)
757Km = 470.3998 miles / 11.35 gallons = 41.4 miles per Imperial Gallon

In US Gallons (128 ounces or 3.7854118 Litres)
470.3998 miles / 13.631 US Gallons = 34.5 miles per gallon

My average fuel consumption is 9.32 Litres per 100 Km

30.3 Miles per Imp. Gallon

or

25.2 Miles per US gallon

Best regards from Montreal

How many miles has someone gone on one tank? I have gone 590 miles on one tank in my 2005 acura tl/AT.

oppnyc

Great result.
I made 490 on a trip to Canada from NY some time ago

Now in NY I drive in SS mode all the time and can make only 13-15 mpg.

daytl

First I topped of my tank. The for some reason I was getting 38 mpg from ohio to chicago and back. I pushed it to the limit though. I think I had to fill 16.9 gallons.

KatyTL

City driving and normal day to day driving I get about 280 miles a tank

kennyc

MY current tank will be the worst one to date - around 250 miles / tank.

maluskills

I consistently get 300 miles per tank unless im taking a long trip...then i ge about 375-400

architectonic

Under average daily driving, I'll normally get 290 miles before the light alerts me that I'm low.

SSMTL04

i get about 250 miles/tank for both city and highway driving

I hate cars

I went to Vegas and back on a tank which is about 520 miles. I purposely pushed it. Topped it off. Aired the tires to 42psi. Drove 72mph which is where mine seems to get the best mileage. I only had to break cruise one time on the way up there and didn't stop at all for food or bathroom. Parked the car and didn't drive it again until I left Vegas. This was pushing it but even with the fuel light on and the computer telling me I had 2 miles to go, it only held 14.7 gallons. There's a pretty big altitude change and I took it real easy on the steep parts, and coasted for most of the downhill which made the miles to empty count backwards.
