Hey guys! Im relatively new to the Acura TL Type-S and i just finished my first road trip with the car. I went from Dallas, Texas to Omaha, Nebraska. Total distance, oddly enough, was 666 miles, averaged 68 mph while getting 29 mpg. Total time was 9 hours 28 minutes. Was really happy with how the car handled on the road over a long time, while also being loaded, both trunk and back seat were full. Just thought I'd share my trip and the measurements that I ended up with.

 

Inb4 "cool story, bro".

Anywho, I've never taken the TL on any "road trips".

Farthest was like 3.5 hours heheh

 

Good to hear. Happy Motoring.

 

Nice!

 

Ive taken mine from dallas to IL thats always fun. I avg's about 30mpg doing 70-75.

 

Glad you had a good experience with your TL-S.

 

I drove from Chicago to Dallas and Houston about 3 weeks ago. Really long drive, but fun! Unfortunately it wasn't in my TL

 

The day after labor day ill be driving from Oregon to Florida... im moving there for my new job. Should be an interesting drive

 

Sounds like a typical week for me. Glad you enjoyed the trip.

 

I'd done a few trip from Jacksonville to Norfolk. Always a joy to drive the TL-S. Glad you had a good trip.

 

Getting ready to head up to Door County Wisconsin from St. Louis. Looking forward to take the ride on a long trip. Usually take the wify's suv on trips but this time the TL and I are going alone for the fun of it. Plus she cant go. Darn. lol

 

Never taken a road trip that long but looks like it all went smoothly and got some great gas mileage

 

i averaged 31mpg from omaha ne to kansas city mo in my 2003 tl type s
but there wasnt much luggage and just one other passenger

 

I'm making a 2 hour hop to see my girlfriend this weekend. I'm going to see how much mileage I get too.

 

My trip from Melbourne FL, to Greensboro Nc last week

 

^
That's quite good. I was getting 29 averaging 70mph on my 3-day journey through Michigan for work toothis week.

 

I was actually at 32/73 until I hit traffic before I got home

 

Awesome! Earlier this year my girlfriend and I drove from Raleigh, NC to Kansas City, KS. Here's the computer for the drive there, and yes we drove straight though...



We drove around the city for two days, attended the National Acurazine Meet, and then drove home. Here's the final trip log...



Considering we drove almost 200 miles while in Kansas City, 29mpg for the trip was great! I was at 102k and had yet to have my timing belt done. The TL is an awesome car for long trips.
