Lets have some positive news!

Hi all; Just came back from a weekend jaunt to the Catskills
My TLX/SH-AWD/A-SPEC, was phenomenal; 35.3 MPG; hard to beat for an aggressive 6 cylinder; averaging 70-75MPH
Still lovin' Apple CarPlay, for Waze, & Amazon Music, or ITunes
Nothing's perfect, but this car rocks

Will give you some points. A good 3mpg more then I get at similar speeds. Sounds like a nice ride through the mountains.

So glad you are enjoying your TLX. I did a lake day trip last week and average 6.1 litres/100 km with an average speed of about 115 km/hr on the round trip of 275 km, in my 2.4 ASpec. I had more wind against than I had behind me on the trip.. In US terms, including gallons, 37 mph over an 170 mile round trip at 70 mph. Solid gas mileage, wonderfully quiet trip with minimal road/wind noise, easy passing, and great sound. I do love this car, inside and out. I get a lot of looks in this car, including from German owners.

Not as good as above but last weekend took a trip to Indianapolis in my V6 SHAWD A-SPEC. 271 miles round trip at 32 MPG in Sport mode not even trying to save gas. Ill take that any time!

After 20 months, I still get kudo's from passerby, & parking garage attendants; great color combo, that has retained the new car look
Wax, once a year, & always garaged; I knew as soon as I saw it, I wanted it; actually, stole the Sales Manager's car!
She ordered it in advance, & I told her it was this or zero!

LOVE the blue. They had a similar color in the 3rd gen, always wanted a Type S in the bright blue.
