Replying to: swgordon (Jun 03, 2007 11:43 am)  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.

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) 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. |

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. |

| 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. | |
| 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. | |
Just did a 180 mile highway drive on my brand new 2008 TL. Had 1300 miles on it when I started..first 70 miles I was driving at 65-70 miles per hour and the average MPH was showing 34. Increased the speed to 75-80 for the remaining stretch and it dropped down to 33 MPG. I am pretty impressed with the mileage..

| Has anyone done any comparisons between the average mileage shown on the trip computer and actual mileage (defined as the miles driven on a tank divided by the number of gallons put into the car?) On my first test of this in my 2008 TL the average listed was about 2 MPG higher than the actual, but I filled up when I had 1/4 tank of gas left. Do you think the accuracy would be higher if I ran the tank down to the red light? | |
