Replying to: KarenS (Jun 02, 2005 9:25 am) '04 TL, auto, non-navi, Bridgestone EL42 inflated to 32-35 psi. City: 21-23 mpg, Highway: 29-33 mpg. If you put your right foot into it, you are going to see 16-18 mpg city, and you'll wear out the brakes and tires pretty quickly, too. Replies to this message: bhelsdon (Jun 02, 2005 2:48 pm)

Replying to: ed31cincy (Jun 02, 2005 1:59 pm) 04, Auto, Navi, with 32k. I do 98% highway driving with a 92 Mile commute each way on 65mph highways( which actually means 80mph+ during rush hour). My A/C is always on and I always put 93 octane in, and I average 27-29mpg.
#5 of 333 Those are some pretty impressive MPG numbers! by bodble2 Jun 02, 2005 (3:39 pm)
You guys driving TL Hybrids?   For me, pure highway driving would be about 31 - 32 mpg. Semi city - about 21 - 23 mpg Pure urban driving - 16.5 - 19.5 mpg.   But here's the kicker. Those numbers are based on imperial gallons, which is 20% larger than US gallons.

Replying to: KarenS (Jun 02, 2005 9:25 am) TL'04 auto 24/25 mpg with speed avg 31mph for the last 6k miles. (70 miles daily) City driving about 50% 25-40mph speed limit Highway 55-65 mph speed limit. Mostly using 93 octane gas but lately I use 50% regular and 50% premium. It turns out the mpg gets better (dont whether it may works on other car) by 1 mpg from 24 to 25.   It got worse to 21 mpg once before the 2nd service 13k miles but it went up again after I used a $7 fuel system cleaner and had the car serviced the next day as required by the computer.

18.5 mpg so far with two tankfuls of gas and one month of ownership. Almost all city/suburban roads with some hard accelerations.
#8 of 333 MPG by tawneycat Jun 04, 2005 (6:49 am)
I get 30 mpg in commute (25 mi one way commute 65 max flat and steady) I get 32 on highway light load little AC I get low 20S around town. this is consistent with my 04 TL. Aggressive driving lowers all this greatly. I imagine few people drive the way I do.   It shows this wide tired hvy car is quite efficient overall. Motorweek and other testers have been very impressed with long term mileage. Most report mid 25-26 overall during 20 k miles--not bad at all.
#9 of 333 22-23 MPG by laurasdada Jun 04, 2005 (4:31 pm)
In mixed local/highway commute, 40 miles/day. Average speed around 30mph.
#10 of 333 MPG so far...... by drcohen Jun 11, 2005 (8:18 am)
Just a little over 575 miles. My last two tank fills have yielded about 17.6 to 18.1 MPG in 90% urban driving and trying like h^%^ to keep my nervous foot of it. I can hardly wait to take this baby up the coast...I anticipate great MPG's.   My last car, Infiniti i30T had actually better MPG around town, 18.5 to 20.5 consistantly.   Interesting because I almost went for a G35 which EPA's at 18 town vs. 20 for the TL. I would hope that with time the TL will yield better town MPG.   David.....
#11 of 333 27 MPG Highway for -02 Type S by bruizer Jun 20, 2005 (10:01 am)
On a recent 700 mile trip with probably 3% city driving. The car is very smooth on the highway - I was averaging about 75 mph, but got it up to 120 once on some back roads. Replies to this message: frisconick (Jun 20, 2005 3:34 pm)

Replying to: bruizer (Jun 20, 2005 10:01 am) Hey, slow down!!! It is very easy to go way over the speed limit in the TL without realizing you are going 90.
