Drove almost 900 miles yesterday and cruised along at a good clip (80-85 most of the way) through the Blue Ridge Mountains from western NY to South Carolina. The car was a pleasure to drive, very comfortable and I was really impressed with its performance.

 

that’s some good MPGs!!

 

23 mpg is pretty good for the Type S!

I noticed in the pic the speed recognition shows a limit of 10 (was it really 10?!!). I remember a couple times when it reported "100 mph" as the speed limit. LOL

If I'm not mistaken, I believe you can change speed recognition to grab from the internet vs using the cameras to capture limits and sometimes report the wrong number (your choice).

 

I was pleasantly surprised with the MPG as well. 10MPH is the speed limit through the parking areas in the resort I’m in. With the 6” speed bumps every 12 feet, it’s redundant, especially in my car. Lol

 

Did even better on the way home. Cruise control set about 10-12 MPH over the limit (traveling speed 75-85 ish). Same basic route going north this time, although one less detour so a bit shorter. Car was great.

 

That's not bad at all. Maybe you had less wind (or warmer temps) than the southbound trip?

We've owned a number of Hondas and Acuras (all MTs) and two things have been constant -- they've always outperformed their EPA ratings and they always take about 5-10K miles before they reach their optimal fuel mileage.

 

Great performance when needed, yet knowing I can stretch the miles for the next refueling. 😊

 

Nice, you got me beat!

 

Sadly I will probably never see those numbers living in a city with stop and go traffic all day long #sadboys

 

My last tankful I set a new record. 509 miles on my tankful (FWD Advance), roughly 34MPG. About 1/3 of the miles were on the freeway (75-80mph), the remaining 2/3 were mostly on Wisconsin back roads at 55-60mph, with some occasional town driving added in. That was on 87 octane, BTW.

Very happy with that. Were I to replace my car with an AWD A-Spec, I know there would be a mileage hit, but what I'm more concerned about is having to stop for gas more often. Wish the car had a bigger tank.

 

Great! very refreshing to see real owner experience than BS vlogers

 

I've put almost 6000 miles on my TLX in the past two months of ownership. My average is 28.8 MPG, mostly highway driving.

IMO, it's quite good for being all-wheel drive and over 4000 pounds.

 

I live in NYC..just hit 3K miles on my TLX-S and my MPG is dropping rapidly after averaging 21 MPG from two road trips to Montreal. Now I’m getting 17 MPG and filling the tank once a week after driving only 3-4 times a week. I’m now budgeting $300 a month for fuel. Ugh
