post your mpg

with mostly around town and little highway I average 19.5-20mpg, when I used to commute a lot to the Bronx for work, I was averaging about 26 on a FWD. I have about 8900 miles since end of September, and 'overall average' is 20.9 mpg. I use 92-93 octane gas.

I've been getting 19-20 mpg per tank (then again I'm only on my 3rd tank and I haven't done a lot of highway driving, 70% stop and go, 30% highway). I'm kind of a lead foot too....and I do a lot of "aggressive" driving...

I'm feeling better with 19.5 seeing PetesTL and crxb. I am egtting about 2.5 MPG less than my Type-S in regular driving, but the AWD does not do much better HWY. I find maybe 60-65 is sweet spot for highway after that I think the AWD drag kills it I have never seen more than about 24 on the HWY. My Type-S could easily get 27-28 and my 07 TL got closer to 29-30 on HWY.

The one thing that makes the crappy fuel economy somewhat bearable is the cheap gas these days. When gas becomes $4 or more, I'm going to seriously consider moving to diesel or a hybrid.

Funny I was there after Katrina and gas hit $3.50 I dumped my 06 TL and got a Camry Hybrid. What a fun way to drive, taught me a lot about how to get best MPG out of any ride, but after 5 months I missed the TL ride and got a 07 TL. I hope $4 Gas holds out a few years until this lease is out as I will lieky get something that at least gets mid 20's again. I wonder why Acura didn't put the VCM form the Accord in the 4G, I mean they have it int he Accord already on the 3.5 can't be that hard to port over and even it is save a little, every little bit helps today.

I'm averaging 17-18 and im about 50/50 city/highway. Haven't seen anything over 24 mpg on highway. I have 750 miles on it and i have been getting on it but i hope it improves a little bit. Next tank I'm gonna baby it and see how that goes. AWD

Ya I find myself taking a few corners faster than in my 99TL just cuz it's so fun to feel the car really hold its own and handle like a champ. I'm getting about 20 MPG on my AWD, 75% HWY.

Best mileage to date - Las Vegas to LA - 26.2 MPG, however the first two hours was stop and go traffic from Vegas to Stateline, if not for that I bet it would of been a lot better. Yeah stateline! I was caught in that Memorial Day traffic bullshit! What F'in nightmare!

recent 5 hr highway trip about got 30mpg - but still only 17- 18 city now w/ over 6k miles (SH-AWD) and to repeat myself from earlier my 3G did about the same city (maybe 1mpg better) but I did manage 35mpg once (5AT)

My last tank was 20MPG. This tank and every tank thereafter will probably be 'not much'. I just cleared the 600 mile break-in period yesterday. I'm also part of the group of people that suffer from lead foot disease.
The car is very fun to drive, and it's difficult to not repeatedly surprise passengers at how good a car this size is at cornering.
I really don't care how much gas I burn, and I don't even take MPG into consideration when I purchase a car.

I just did a short trip of 611 miles, about 85% highway, through the deserts from LA to Vegas and back, AC on the whole time as well. MPG average was 27.5, average speed was 61.2mph. At some points I hit 100mph, the ride was so frickin' smooth, just incredible! I also saw a CBP FWD tech in Vegas with blacked out windows, Nevada plates obviously, non painted grill and bumpers, stock 17's rims. It looked clean but rims ruin it, as do mine. :-(
