2002 Acura 3.5 RL

16 mpg city
25 mpg highway

1997 Acura 3.2 TL

19 mpg city
28 mpg highway

I use premium on both, both engines are in great shape. The RL just has more weight.. oh well.

23-25 MPG City

Haven't taken it on a highway trip yet, but from what I see now and what I've read others get I'd expect 28-32mpg

My Murano averages 17 mpg in predominantly 'city' driving.

My 07 AV6 averages about 21.6 mpg due mainly to my lead foot (on highways).
Or else, I might get closer this this:

As for my 00 Quest, I would rather not talk about it.

You are kidding, right?
Do you have a built 390 or 427 in the thing, or just a leak in the gas tank?

It might be a tiny bit higher than 9, but not by much. It is really depressing. I average, highway, about 150 miles on 12 gallons - so yeah, change the highway a few mpg.

Most of our driving is local, however, most of the roads are 45mph and only a few of the main roads have lights. So I'd have to say we drive maybe 70% highway and 30% city. My wife (Audi) may do a bit more city since her office is in the middle of Charlotte.

The bike is only ridden on local back roads with speed limits between 35 and 55mph. Only been through one tank so far... but good results.

2007 FJ Cruiser: 20-21 mpg
2005 Ninja 250: 43 mpg
2005.5 Audi A4: 28-32mpg

Yeah Ken it's weird! But then since then i've been driving slower. Like before, I drove on the freeway at 80-83, and I would only be able to get to Pomona and back home 3 days. I averaged 16mpg doing that.. So I experimented, driving a bit slower each time, and gas milage went up like crazy.
