Replying to: 1bythesea (Sep 13, 2009 1:40 pm) I should clarify, I haven't been in a 4 cyl. other than the RDX turbocharged. Huge engine difference, IMHO.

2010 4-cyl. TSX with 1390 total miles on the vehicle. 80% hwy/20% city, running the air conditioner, hwy speeds averaging 70 mph, my hand calculated mileage was 25 mpg while the computer was 27 mpg. Will keep checking it with the next two fill ups, but there does seem to be something to what other Acura owners are experiencing with the computer being higher than actual.

Replying to: 1bythesea (Sep 20, 2009 2:28 pm) Thanks for the follow-up.   It may not have always been like this. The New Jersey fan has given us to believe that her vehicle displays what she calculates.   Lately, I don't think that's the case -- sad. The car gets very good fuel mileage. Why cheat?   Either way, I'll be awaiting your follow-up. I'm sure you'll enjoy the car.   The marketing people screw things up more often than not.

Replying to: 1bythesea (Sep 20, 2009 2:28 pm) I have an '07 and every fill up is 1-2 MPG lower compared to the computer. Sad to see that with all of the technological improvements they've made to the TSX, they still haven't fixed that glitch. That said, it's still nice to be averaging over 27.5 MPG for the 37,000+ miles I've driven so far. And that's SoCal/LA county/SF Valley traffic miles per gallon.

Jeez folks, it's not like there's an in-line fuel flow impeller in the fuel line measuring real-time fuel consumption. The computer estimate of fuel economy is just that - an estimate.   The computer has no idea how much fuel is in your tank, and neither do you at any given moment. Even after you fill up and hit the reset button, you can't assume you have the EXACT same amount of fuel every time. Every pump at every gas station has a different sensitivity for the vapor return, and even the same pump will stop at a different point depending on a zillion factors.   I think economy estimates off by just a couple MPG are very good, considering all of the variables involved.
