BMW's cheapest sedan competes with the TL, not TSX. The Lexus IS250 beats the mileage of the TSX despite having a V6.
The TSX is priced closer to a V6 Camry or Accord that get about the same mpg with bigger, more powerful engines and more cabin space. The Saab 9-3 four cylinder sedan gets about the same mileage
 
Nothing amazingly good about the TSX mileage with a 4 cylinder, though some cars are worse.

Thank you.
 
As I said before, I stand corrected.
 
I'll try to be more careful in the future.

i just don't understand how you can get 32.9 mpg at that speed. My 08 TSX is turning +/- 3500 rpm and getting about 27 mpg... what do you know that we don't. the max on the window sticker is 33mpg and they do not test it at 80 mph. Anyone else getting 33 mpg?

Just picked up a 2008 non Navi 6spd. Royal Blue /parchment. Lease 3yr/10,000miles/yr.
1500 cap cost + first month= total cash out of pocket $2000 + $288 month+tax..money factor was around 2% with residual of $16,7..., I don't have it right in front of me.. actual selling price was $27,000. I found 6 spd very difficult to find in south Florida. also difficult to avoid dealers fees without lots of effort.
 
I did not purchase at Rick Case Acura who had what i wanted near my home but instead went to Scanlon Acura in Ft. Meyers.. NO DEALER fee and reasonable, to me, price wise. It seems dealer price is really a function of national location,local economy.

here my numbers 5AT 2006
2000rpm 60mph
2500rpm 70mph
2750rpm 80mph
3000 rpm 90mph
3500rpm 100mph
i got 33.5mpg on N 280 at 80mph. but there was downword slope in some places so there was coasting involved. 33mpg is not big deal for TSX if u drive more than 20 minutes on freeway in speeds between 60 to 80mph.

A lot of it has to do with long stretches of highway driving that get the oil temp up all the way. Years ago, when I had a sump-mounted oil temp gauge that I added to my MGB, I learned that it took most of an hour to get the oil temp stabilized, and longer than that when it was really cold out. Also, there was quite a bit of really curvy stuff that kept the speed down in some places yesterday. I hit high speeds occasionally, but certainly not all day.
 
Also, I discovered the car computer appears optimistic. When I compared what the car thought I was getting for a tank of gas yesterday (33.1 mpg) to the actual numbers (12.33 gallons in 380 miles), I got 30.8 mpg, which is still no slouch but ~7% lower.
 
Manual transmission may help too, though the EPA numbers say no. Of course, according to the EPA I shouldn't be getting anything like what I am. Could be the new EPA program assumes more aggressive acceleration or whatever, which I wasn't doing much of either.

thank you for providing the rpm's, it would seem that the 6spd has a different final drive than your car. My number are very different at the speeds you mentioned. this would acct for differrent mpg, i'm really surprised by this difference.

My daughter wanted black on black. First we went to AcuraofOcean in NJ where we had purchased before.They didn't have any in stock and would not bother to look for one without an additional$400-ontop of a price that was not even competitive. I give alot of credit to Bill Vincents Acura in Sommerville. The internet manager there tried to get the car for two days but none was around in NY or NJ. We then switched to the DC area since the car was going to be registered in Maryland anyway. Chevy Chase acura swore up and down that they had one in stock. Gave them a$500 deposit and got a vin number. I kept on asking him if he was sure they had one since the website did not seem to show any and he said they did. At 6:30 p.m. on Sat. he sent me the cost breakdown as my daughter's fiancee was going to pick it up on Monday.Monday morning he calls to see the car and suddenly it was sold Sat.nite. Since his email to me was after 6 I doubt that was the case.I then contacted Tischer Acura in Laurel Md who had also had the car on Sat. and asked him if it was still available.He said it definately was so I gave him a $500 deposit with again intending to pick up the car that night. Two hours later we get a call-the car supposedly had been sold late Sat. Shouldn't he have known that before he was willing to take my mone?.We did finally locate the car atRadleyAcura inVa for$26000incdestination.They were very easy to deal with.If I ever need another Acura I'd go to Bill Vincents Acura or Radleys.
