On my 2008 MDX I've averaged 19.0 for all the driving (Trip B). My MPG per tank using Trip A ranges from 16-23. I've observed 23 MPG at around 70 MPH on a 250 mile highway run, but drops to 21 or so if I keep it at 75 MPH. Around town driving seems to be in the 16-17 range.

Replying to: bill124 (May 19, 2008 6:51 am) I was hoping that either the Acura RL or the MDX would see improvements in mileage for the 09 models, especially considering the fact that they both "require" that you use premium fuel. I work 30 miles from home and not near a mass transit station (at least in the area that my office is located) so that translates to 300miles for a 5 day week and roughly $4.40 a gallon. It becomes very impractical to buy this car (or the RL). I will look once again at Lexus since they seem to offer the space i want in both a SUV (RX400H) and a sedan (GS-450H) but even if i go for average fuel economy (for the class) the Audi A6 or BMW 5series are far better (but slightly more expensive than the RL in initially acquisition cost) and saves me money in the long run especially if fuel cost keep rising (i think $5+ is possible by EOY). I guess I can only hope that when my wife is ready to change her car that Acura gets their act together and releases either a hybrid or more fuel efficient gas engine. It is just not practical for me. 13.5MPG !!! (that's crazy, that is the mpg number for an American made SUV like the Hummer or Expedition )  P.s. curious about the Hyundai Genesis also but i am waiting to hear what the mileage is like. With Honda being the only manufacturer to make a profit last month I hope that they realize how bad the market is now and that offering a better more cost efficient product in their Acura line will assure future buyers to their luxury line (which did not sell well over the last few months).

Replying to: bill124 (Jul 03, 2008 6:26 am) Mixed - 18-19 MPG Hwy 22-23MPG (65-75mph) Current mileage : 7K. I think Mixed 19 mpg is acceptable for 300HP V6 AWD MDX. Last weekend The cheapest gas I found was 4.13/gallon for 93 on Costco gas station in Potomac Mills, VA. The nearest gas station from my home (Texeco in Rockville MD) asks for 4.05/gallon for regular, 4.33 for premium last weekend. Sunoco actually sells 91 which is about 5 to 10 cents cheaper than 93. I would probably still use Charvon/Texeco because their special gas additive. 2008 MDX Tech/Ent

Hey Hosts, Why does Edmunds continue to use that misleading Buick ad about the Enclave getting better mileage than the MDX? It's apples and oranges, the MDX has SH-AWD as standard and the vehicle that they are comparing it to is front-wheel-drive. Just wondering...
