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!

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.

I have an 08 TSX that has now done about 4600 miles. With every gas receipt I have been recording mileage and gas used. I have noticed two things with the car: 1) The trip miles - reset at each fill - does not total the total mileage accumulated. It is typically 1 to 2 miles lower on each fill than the total mileage being accumulated on the car. Initially I thought this was just me not resetting the mileage in time, but since I have been aware of it, I have deduced that it is the trip computer than can not add up, and not me. 2) The average mileage per gallon that is calculated on the trip computer is over calculated. Typically it reads 2 to 3 MPG over and above what I am calculating. Now I understand that by filling on different pumps that the gas used may be sightly under or over read, but it usually balances out over a few fills. But I am not seeing this. Take for instance, my last few fills. Last one was recorded at 29.9MPG by the car, 27.7MPG by me. The one previous to that was 29.8MPG by the car, 27.5 by me, and the one prior to that was about 27-28MPG by the car and 25.9 by me. I don't remember this last one exactly but it was significantly off and was the point that sparked my interest in the accuracy of the trip computer. It seems to be consistently off. I am now adjusting my spreadsheet that I use to calculate my gas mileage to track the trip computer totals as well, just to see how bad the trip computer is. Has anyone else been seeing this?
