#192 of 221 Is frequent shifting the automatic in/out of neutral bad? by obladida1 Oct 18, 2007 (5:09 pm)
First off: You guys are my heros! I WISH I could get that kinda mileage out of my '07 auto/nav. I live in the L.A. Valley and I commute to the beach, so I have a big twisty hill to get over twice a day. My average for almost 4K miles is 26.9.   When I am going downhill, I sometimes drop the tranny to neutral and coast much of the way. Is it bad for the automatic transmission to be popped in/out of neutral and/or left in neutral for extended periods?

Replying to: obladida1 (Oct 18, 2007 5:09 pm) I'm not sure I'd be willing to risk damaging an automatic tranny by coasting in neutral like that, but I do it all the time with the 5MT in my '02 Elantra. It's one of the fuel saving techniques I've used to average 33.2mpg over the last 99,000 miles versus the car's 21/30 revised EPA numbers. If you've got a long downhill stretch where you don't need to use engine braking to retard your speed, you can save a lot of gas. Before they put in a couple of traffic lights, I used to coast over six miles on my daily commute from the top of the Palmer Divide clear down past the infamous Ted Haggard's New Life Church (Ted being infamous - not necessarily the church) on highway 83 here in Colorado. Traffic was always very light at 5am and I never went more than 10mph over or under the limit.   You might want to check your local laws, though. I don't know about California, but it's technically illegal to coast in neutral here.   Thanks to all for the great info on TSX mileage. I've about settled on one as my next ride. I get the feeling that it'll be a lot harder restraining my right foot in an Acura than a Hyundai, though! Replies to this message: nj2pa2nc (Oct 22, 2007 9:38 am)

Replying to: gt_fan (Oct 22, 2007 6:55 am) i wish that were true but my husband tends to speed more in our 05 hyundai elantra GT 5 speed than he does in our 06 acura tsx 6 speed. we also get good gas mileage in our elantra-average 33.5 mpg. it has just over 60,000 miles-
#197 of 221 envious by civic2k Mar 12, 2008 (6:56 am)
I picked my new 08 6spd TSX up about a month it ago. It was my third car (till my Civic was stolen last weekend) so I only filled it up twice. The first tank was about 27mpg, and most of the miles were highway (bought the car in VA, drove it back to NJ). My second tank was 22mpg, and according to the MID this one's not going to be much better...   I don't get it. I don't floor it, and always shift at around 3k rpm's..75% of my driving is highway, 25% city. Replies to this message: samiam_68 (Mar 12, 2008 8:36 am)

Replying to: civic2k (Mar 12, 2008 6:56 am) Give it a few more tankfuls to even out fill variations. However, don't expect stellar MPG in NJ or anywhere else in the Northeast - ethanol blended gas used in these areas will drop your MPG by 5-15%.
