#222 of 333 Re: highway mpg [swgordon] by armanipatrick May 31, 2007 (6:55 pm)
Replying to: swgordon (May 28, 2007 8:08 am) 30+ mpg is pretty darn good. My car's at just over 1000 miles on the odometer. I drove the first long distance trip over the weekend. It was 95 highway miles one way and I only got 26 mpg. On the way back we did mix of country back roads and highway and got 25mpg. Maybe you are getting better mileage because your car might have broken in better than mine?

Replying to: armanipatrick (May 31, 2007 6:55 pm) Not sure. How do you drive? Do you accelerate fast, etc.. I have been trying to drive mine fairly conservatively. Replies to this message: armanipatrick (Jun 05, 2007 5:37 am) armanipatrick (Jul 02, 2007 7:45 am)

Replying to: swgordon (Jun 03, 2007 11:43 am) Well, I do drive a bit "spiritedly" But I don't mash the pedal or rev the car. I will try to drive a bit more conservatively for the next 100 miles or so and see if it makes the difference. Thanks. Replies to this message: armanipatrick (Jul 02, 2007 7:45 am)

Just got 30 mpg US on the highway, ranging between 90km/h and 120 km/h
#226 of 333 Re: Type S mpg [habitat1] by sbtatter Jun 06, 2007 (4:57 pm)
Replying to: habitat1 (May 22, 2007 1:44 pm) It had quite a bit of highway driving with speeds varied all the time between 90 and 125 km/h. It had some start and stop in the first 3000 km/h b/c that's just the reality of life. Had the RSX type S and treated it similar with no problems. This one will be traded as soon as the TL SH-AWD comes out, or as soon as the next baby arrives!!!

I typically average 30-32 MPG between fill-ups (closer to 30 MPG during NY winters)…   * 2006 Auto TL, bought new, 18,500 miles to date * 85-90% HWY driving, 80-mile round-trip work commute * Typical cruising speed is 68-75 MPH, approx. 1900-2100 RPM   Thus far, the car has exceeded my mileage expectations.

Replying to: armanipatrick (Jun 05, 2007 5:37 am) Well, the mileage seems to be getting better. The odometer now is at 2k+. This weekend we did a 600 mile round trip to upstate New York. Drove mostly at around 80mph, but there were some slow spots (about 25% of the time) and some hills. Averaged 30 mpg one way and 31 mpg on the way back. I'm pleased with those numbers.
#229 of 333 Highway MPG by z71bill Jul 04, 2007 (7:36 am)
2006 TL with 7,000 miles - normally used for in town driving - short trips - stop and go - heavy Houston traffic we get between 18-21 MPG.   Finally took a longer drive - did a little over 300 highway miles with no stops - left early and was in no big rush - drove very conservative - no fast starts - slow and easy all the way - set the cruise on 76 MPH - got 35.5 MPG - filled up again for the return trip - drove - MUCH faster on the way home - jack rabbit starts - passing trucks and slow cars - the engine sure does sound sweet above 6,000 RPM - and even though traffic was jammed up in a few spots still got 32 MPG.   Although 35.5 is great mileage I will gladly sacrifice 3.5 MPG for the extra speed - and fun the TL can give. We have a Mazda3 with a 4 banger that does not get as good as MPG as the TL.
#230 of 333 Great Hwy Mileage by kennyg8 Jul 04, 2007 (2:21 pm)
Just finished an 850 mile round trip from NYC to Skyline Drive in VA. Average mph was 70 and overall mpg was 30, that was with 3 passengers, full load of luggage and AC on all the way. We did some sidetrips, like looking for eats and buys around small towns. Overall mpg was more than satisfactory for a car with such power and performance.
#231 of 333 Decent on 07 TL by keithl Sep 03, 2007 (7:31 am)
Well first I find that the 07 MID MPG is not as accurate as my 04 and 06, those were virtually dead on. The 07 trip computer seems to be 1.5-2 MPG over estimated all the imte, but none the less I do real calcualtions on MPG and over 11K miles the car has gotten 22.4 MPG and most of that is commuting which is 20 miles each way in suburban driving, so go a few miles at 45 MPH then stop at a light kind of driving. I did get 27 MPG on on hilly highway drive to the mountains one day. I just got a 2008 Type-S so I am curious how it compares and how accurate its trip computer is.
