GAS MILEAGE ISSUES/changing TPMS TO PSI?

I have a 06 TL...This thing blows on gas, I have had it for 3 months...I am wondering how many KILOMETERS I am supposed to get on a fulltank as well as half a tank, I want to see if what I am getting is normal, which is about 220kms on half a tank....anyways to improve gas mileage other than driving like a bitch lol?

Anyone know a way to change to TPMS Display to PSI as opposed pascals or whatever?

As far as mileage, don't rely on the gauge. Simply fill it up, mark down the mileage, drive, and then fill it up again. Then divide that quantity into the KM driven. Without doing the conversion should run around 20/22MPG.

According to the Canadian fuel consumption guide, the 2006 TL whether a manual or auto will get the same:
City 11.8 L/100km
Hwy 7.5 L/100km

Don't have the TPMS system on ours, but here's something I found:

I just filled up last night and got 320 miles/515 kilometers to the tank. That is about 23 mpg which is pretty impressive for me because I usually fill up around 270 miles. Might be because I just aired up my tires at my previous gas fillup and that helped the mpg.

But in most all cases you will hear it is how you drive your car that determines your mpg. If you like to floor it and brake quick then you will get less mpg if you drive like a granny.
