#138 of 179 Re: Another Update on MPG... [squirtman] by bill124 Jan 04, 2008 (11:31 am)
Replying to: squirtman (Jan 03, 2008 10:41 pm) We will reset when we get car back from dealer. Car has been there for 2 days trying to figure out what is draining the battery. Not sure what it is.
#139 of 179 What mileage do you get? by smoss1 Jan 22, 2008 (9:12 pm)
We are looking at the MDX and have seen some posts where people are getting ~15mpg city and I've seen others where they are getting 11-13 mpg. What mileage are you getting? I drive mostly city but usually not much traffic. Replies to this message: nobody88 (Jan 22, 2008 9:35 pm) bill124 (Feb 13, 2008 11:07 am) beachtraveler (Mar 16, 2008 9:50 am)

Replying to: smoss1 (Jan 22, 2008 9:12 pm) I've been tracking the mileage since April 1, 2007 the first day I bought the MDX. From April1 to Dec 31, I drove 16627km and filled 2875 litre, all octane 91. It equals to 17.29 L/100km or 13.66 mpg. I am 80-90% city and quite often downtown.

Replying to: nobody88 (Jan 22, 2008 9:35 pm) We are around 12. All very local. Dropping kids off at school, waiting in line.   How do you reset the MPG for trip A and trip B? I am able to reset the screen that indicates the number of miles but not the MPG.   Thanks.
#142 of 179 Computer estimated avg MPG accuracy by junbug6 Mar 02, 2008 (1:39 pm)
can anyone comment whether the computer estimated avg MPG is accurate or not? Friend of mine has a MDX, it shows a 11.8 L/100km avg (or 19.9 MPG), but he only got 210km (130miles) with nearly half tank of gas. My ody EXL can gets about 300KM (186miles) with half tank gas but my calculation is 12.7 L/100km (or 18.5 MPG) get the best. I know Ody has a slightly bigger fuel tank (19.2 gal vs 21 gal).
#143 of 179 2008 Base MDX; First Tank! by texmdx Mar 06, 2008 (7:41 am)
I am pleased to report 19 mpg on my first tank; 60 % highway driving, sometimes with heavy traffic. Better than I expected from a 300hp AWD 7 seater SUV!   At delivery of the vehicle I was told that premium was definitely NOT required. I will experiment and estimate the impact of using regular on fuel economy. Still plan to use premium in at least one of four fill ups though.   I noticed that at 40 mph the car stays on 4th but can be manually shifted to 5th. Don't know how much it would impact economy but it drops rpms by nearly 1000... (and makes for a smooth quiet ride ).
#144 of 179 Got 22.5 MPG on 2008 MDX Tech package by crvexl4wd Mar 08, 2008 (10:29 pm)
I have now around 1400 miles. Since then my avarage is 14.5. Today I drove 150 miles on Highway (95% on hwy) and got 22.5. I have always used Premium Gas. Also I have noticed that when I was crusing between 65 and 70 miles, I got around 24.5 Avg and It drops drown if I increase or decrease the speed. Also my engines was running at 2000 RPM. These MPG readings are as per car computer. Replies to this message: bill124 (Mar 10, 2008 8:11 pm)

Replying to: crvexl4wd (Mar 08, 2008 10:29 pm) Can someone help me with resetting the MPG on 2008 MDX? I can't seem to get it to reset and I really don't want to see the 12.2 my wife consistently averages with her horrible driving habits. What do I need to hold down beside reset? I put it to drive A and press reset but it doesn't zero out.
#146 of 179 Setting MPG readout by barb36jack31 Mar 14, 2008 (1:08 pm)
With the dashboard screen reading Trip Computer, click the upper end of the bottom button on the right side of steering wheel. This will bring up readings for oil life, MPG A, MPG B, temperature etc. Click the top button until MPG A is showing. Then press and hold the top button for about two or three seconds and the Trip A will go to 0. Follow the same procedure for Trip B. This sets the MPG for both Trip A and Trip B to 0 as well. Do this each time you fill up and you can see your MPG for each tankfull.   Good luck!   Jack H.   My average mileage is running between 18 and 19 per gallon. I can pull as high as 24-25 on the highway, but this is FL and the land is very flat. Also I notice if the MPH go above 70 the MPG starts to drop somewhat..

Replying to: smoss1 (Jan 22, 2008 9:12 pm) I average about 14mpg. I've been trying to figure out why it's so low and I think it's because we live in the hills. I've noticed that I may be averaging around 16mpg, then as soon as I start up the hill it drops way down. That's my only complaint about the MDX. I love everything else about it, but the mpg is bad. Couple that with the requirement to put premium gas in at $3.75 a gallon!
