Mixed driving = 22 MPG

This includes some highway, some hilly secondary roads and a dose of lead foot from time to time.

eh? spec

hehe, in Canada ours are in L/100Km but mine is at 9
8L/100km if I'm just on highways.

This is an interesting post. Apparently the fuel mileage is taking a serious hit in the wrong direction for a few more hp. If the SH-AWD comes to fruition in 2008, that will drop it even further.
Just for S&G's, let's look at some numbers:
Type "S" auto is 3,674 lbs, and rated at 19/28 mpg
Type "S" 6MT is 3,559 lbs., and rated at 20/29 mpg
The 4,000 lb. RL w/AWD is rated at 18/26.
The mpg difference between "S" auto and RL is 8% on the highway. Yes, I know the RL is 290 hp.
Just my here, but with the price of gas skyrocketing, and we need premium, in addition, Acura may not be heading in the right direction (for me, anyway). It will be insighful to read further posts to this thread.
I don't mean to bore anyone. Forgive me for enjoying the engineering and numbers.
Just food for thought...how many people would realize that only 2 mpg difference could equate to 8%. Figure that for a year.
For reference, my '05 TL has averaged an honest 30-31 mpg in the 55,000 miles I've had her. The EPA rating on the sticker is 20/29.

So far about 21mpg. About 50% highway because I commute everyday, but I also get stuck in traffic frequently.

bruce.augenstein@comcast.

I'm a bit stunned by how well mine is doing. First tank was 23 mpg in mixed driving (50% highway) while (don't let me get too technical here) beating the snot out of it. Bunches of full throttle, short-duration shots in every gear but first, sixth to fifth to fourth to fifth to sixth ad infinitum when out on the highway, mixed in with full thottle shots all the while. Must've seen redline 20-25 times in second and third gears.

Second tank much more around town. Fewer full throttle passes (but still plenty). Couple of first gear blasts, with and without the electronic nannies. This car cannot accept full throttle in first gear wihtout breaking the tires loose up around 4000 rpm - with fully warmed tires on a warm and clean asphalt road.

25 mpg on the second tank.

Current tank around 70% highway so far. Looks like it'll do close to 20% better, based on when it hit a half tank.

I'm very pleased so far. We also have an E46 M3 in the garage, and it will clearly spank the TL-S in any sort of performance comparison, but the Acura clearly is a very strong performer in its own right - much stronger than I expected.

17 mpg. almost all city or short trips. rarely on the highway for more than 5 miles.

As I've asked repeatedly in other threads about gas mileage, would everyone chiming in here PLEEEEEZE state whether your TL is 5AT or 6MT?

cbronze07

07 TL-S 5AT

23-24mpg

Indy Paul

22 mixed, this is with under 2K miles, I hope it gets better as the mile add up!

violarx

Please be more specific. Rounding to 2 decimals is for sissies( )

16 - 18 mpg in an '07 TL-S 6MT driving the worst of city traffic (lots of 1st, 2nd & 3rd). The MID routinely says an average of 17 mph.

Such a waste of a good, fast car.

subbuzz

I've yet to see mine with a 2 in front usually 17-19 mixed (mostly city though)

i have about 1300 miles......

pravin.george

TL-S AT 5 SPEED --
And it's got 450 miles on it -- and I've driven it on the highway once -- to Pittsburgh about 1.5 hours away, and back -- which is the only reason why it's at 17 in the first place...

A-TLvic882

18 mpg

The MID show an average of 22 mph -- most important number in calculating MPG.


So add this number too.

17-18 just city 30-35 mph. 22-23 mixed.

Indy Paul

Okay, here goes again:

2007 TL w/AT
MID: 22 mpg/23 MPH (which tells it's mostly city driving)
Current Mileage: 1658

I almost want to cry when I have to stop and go or hit a traffic light because you can see the MPG rating diving down in front of your eyes and it seems like an eternity trying to get each mile back up again even when driving back on the highway. It's crazy how much it stresses me out. Last night I filled up in Newark, NJ and had to drive about 5 miles on RT 21 which is all traffic lights and I was cursing out the people who couldn't design the lights to all turn green in sequence. My wife thinks the car isn't good for my blood pressure.

Anansi

'07 TL-S 6-Spd.
22 mpg in mixed driving (only had it for 2 weeks so far so it's not fully broken in)

For comparison My '98 4-cyl accord automatic averaged about 25 with the same driving patterns. (Just less power when I pressed the gas ).

Based on the cost difference of the gas and the lower MPG of the TL-S, I figure I'll spend about $300 more in gas this year than last. I think $300 is a pretty good bargain for a year of enjoyment!

lowd77

20-21mpg in the city with a auto TL-S.
1100 miles on the odo.

27 MPG. 80% Highway. 20% town. I drive like a kid on his permit in town. I drive fast on the highway.

p.s. Gas station out of Premium last friday. Had to use reg. for that 1 tank. MPG down 3 MPG for that tank.

24-25 MPG

Mixed between suberban roads and expressway.

azeemdadream

That's really good! Have you gotten that much right out of the lot or has it improved gradually?

MD_2007_TLS

Right out of the box I got 23-24, so it hasn't changed much.

My driving is almost all comute so I drive the same thing over and over again. Also since it's a commute, with lots of traffic, I drive conservatively almost all the time.

tupacboy1

geez... some of these posts are making me feel like something is wrong with my car... much higer mpg posted here... almost 8-9 more then me... sigh

I average about 23 mpg. The MID is usually around 22, while the "Trip Computer" (which was installed via navigation hack, usually shows mid- to high-23s/low-24s.

25-30% freeway driving.

paul revere

2004 automatic.

I get about 20 mpg and that is almost all city driving. Taking the TL to Columbus in a couple of weeks, we'll see what the mileage is on the interstate.

I just went on a 170 mile cruise. 95% highway doing about 75 mph average with about 5 times I goosed it to 90-100mph. I averaged 26 MPG. 07 TL-S Auto
