Gas mileage

Just wanted to see what kind of gas mileage everyone is getting on their TL's?
I'm averaging about 440 - 500kms a tank.

I'm averaging around 9L/100 in my TL-S but can get down close to 8 on the highway.

I often get 7-8 highway. Lately it's been 9... but that's probably due to bad oil and I need an alignment

I don't drive a full tank just on the highway lol

I usually reset the MID when I fill up the tank, and go on the highway. This is when I get 6 L/100 KM. It eventually rises up to 7, though.

The TLs are AWESOME on gas on the highway. It sucks for city, though.

I'm not gonna take a picture of my MID the next time it says 6 L/100 KM, but take my word or leave it

Plausible... Best I did was 796KMs and the MID was telling me I had another 85KMs left to drive.
That was with 7L/100KM

The TLs are awesome on the highway--but I'm surprised you get amazing mileage on an automatic!
I do the same, I reset it once I fill up. Then once I'm actually entering the highway I reset the MID again.

Usually I try to fill up at a Shell [V-Power] or Petro [94] that's close to the highway. That way I waste less time travelling at slower speeds.

Once I'm on the on-ramp I'm already travelling 80KM/H and once I'm on the highway I'm already doing 100-120KM/H--unlike all these slow-pokes who DANGEROUSLY enter the highway at 40-70KM/H.
Then when I'm at highway speeds I'll hit cruise control and let things take over from there. When I'm going up/down a hill I'll take cruise control off---I also apply zero acceleration when going down hills [to maintain speed--although sometimes I lose speed].

in my 07 5at type s the best i got was 635km to almost empty when i drove to nyc. That was when the mid said 8l per 100km.

On average i get 11L / 100 km with spirited driving highway and city. 50/50

So about the same as the op. 440 - 500 a tank
