#61 of 221 Re: Premium vs. mid grade in 6MT [stillooking] by frisconick Aug 27, 2005 (2:35 pm)
Replying to: stillooking (Aug 26, 2005 3:29 pm) I wonder if the 06 TSX will get more hp, say 240 like the Accord Coupe, and I wonder what the mileage would be?   29+ mpg is good, does your commute involve any city driving? Replies to this message: johnny420 (Sep 06, 2005 8:36 am)
#62 of 221 Gas mileage update by nyer Sep 05, 2005 (4:51 pm)
I just returned from a 400 mile round trip to upstate New York. I had the cruise set between 70 and 75 miles/hr for most of the trip. On the way up I got 31.5 miles/gallon and on the return trip I averaged 34 miles/gallon. I was very impressed and satisfied with these results. Also, I used premium unleaded both times I filled the tank. In addition, the car showed great resilience when needing power to pass, etc. It went from 70 to 100 miles/hr without any problem what so ever. Could have gone a lot more if needed.

Replying to: frisconick (Aug 27, 2005 2:35 pm) The car is to get a 10 HP bump in power, along with some amenities like memory seats and re-worked body parts, new wheels. It's posted all over the web as of now. There's pics available, too.   Also, Acura has catagorically stated that V6's, such as the Honda J30, WILL NOT fit into the engine bay of the TSX. So put thoughts of a V6 in the TSX out of your head. Besides, the added weight would spoil the wonderful balance of the car.   Now, a turbo on the other hand...   Johnny
#64 of 221 Early Up Shift? by bob78 Sep 09, 2005 (12:16 pm)
Has anyone tried to get better gas mileage by up-shifting to a higher gear early using the sport shift on the TSX's automatic transmission? It seems like the car wants to shift at about 2500+ rpm's in full auto mode, but you can get it to shift at just over 2000 rpms in sport shift mode.

Replying to: bob78 (Sep 09, 2005 12:16 pm) Probably a better way is to accelerate less and the shift pattern would upshift at a lower rpm. It is probably attempting to shift at 2500+ rpm based upon your driving pattern (how hard you are pressing the accelerator).

Replying to: upset5 (Jul 21, 2005 4:02 pm) I've had my '05 TSX for almost two months now and it has not yet done better than 20 MPG. I'm on my 6th tank. Mileage on the first five tanks was: 16, 17, 19, 16, 18.   I've only used premium gas. I'm not a hard driver.   Most of my driving is city commuting, but my previous car, a '96 Volvo 850, usually got 19-21 on this same commute. I expected the 4-cylinder TSX to do better (part of why I bought it). The one tank that gave me 19 mpg was about 50% highway.   I also think that the car is a little hard to start for a new car. My old Volvo always started right up when I turned the key. This one has to crank for a few seconds. Is this related to the poor fuel efficiency?

Replying to: lutwak (Sep 11, 2005 3:18 am) ...I see why you are getting 19mpg. Most of your driving is city commuting....and probably short distances.   And yes...your 96 volvo got 19-21....but the tsx is probably a funner car to drive.   The car excels in mpg when you get some highway....trust me.

Replying to: delmar1 (Sep 11, 2005 8:07 am) See my response to another person in message #1939 in the Acura TSX Buying Experience forum. I have had only one tank under 24 in over 10,000 miles of driving (and that was in town errand running) and as high as 28 on the highway. This is with an 05 w auto. My mileage has improved over time and is 2-3 mpg higher now than when the car was new. Replies to this message: ronabi (Sep 13, 2005 9:02 pm)

Replying to: lutwak (Sep 11, 2005 3:18 am) Over time the milage gets slightly better. I get about 20 in the city and 28 on the highway. Remember the TSX does require reving to get it moving esp from light to light. I am generally in the 2,500 to 3,500 rpm range. However on the highway it revs at a super low 2,000 rpm at 60mph. Once your crusin on the open highway, you will appreciate it more...
#70 of 221 2005 mileage by drewba Sep 13, 2005 (8:53 pm)
I now have almost 3,000 miles on my 2005 automatic TSX that I bought back in June. 90% of my driving is city, but it is pretty open city for the most part with several places on my 16 mile commute where I might go 1-2 miles without stopping at a light. I drive quite conservatively, so the transmission usually shifts between 2500 and 2800 RPM. Of course, I take it up to 5000 RPM occasionally just to keep carbon from building up.   Anyway, the mileage on the first 3 tanks was the worst, with the best being 24.14 MPG. Since then (6 tanks), I have averaged 26.53 MPG with a best of 27.86 and a worst of 25.65 MPG. These are calculated values, I don't have NAV.
