Post Road Trip Gas Mileage

Just got back from a week's vacation road-tripping from NJ up to Canada, and I have to say the TL is one sweet car to cruise the highways in. I kept real close watch on the mileage, and calculated mileage in excess of 36 miles/gallon which is pretty darn amazing, compared to the usual 24mpg I get around town. I spent most of the drive on cruise control going 65 mph.

Now gotta get back to the grind...

Im new here...been meaning to post. Purchased Laguna TL on 0/3/28. You must have followed me to Canada. Went from MD to Quebec and return (stops in Mass). As you can probably tell from name I used SS 90% of time. Running at 70 w/AC on most of the time still averaged 31.2 on entire trip. Very pleased to say the least. No problems, no oil used... a real pleasure. At my age even looking out for toyota echos to pick off.Hope this is the fist of many posts....really like the car
regards

Where did you go in Canada? I took my wife to Niagara Falls this past new year. But I took a rental because I have too many miles on my TL. Damn did I ever regret not taking my TL. The POS Malibu was giving me a headache.
BTW, the TL is one great highway cruiser. I took my TL down to Florida two years ago and the ride was so relaxing. On a full tank, I got close to 400 miles.

On a long trip a while back of >2500 miles, I got about 32mpg overall, with climate control set on 65 all the way with speed ranging from 70-90mph..

On a particular road trip where I kept the miles on a steady 70mph throughout, I obtained 36mpg, which is truly Honda Civic territory..
