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? | |

Hi: Quick trip to the Berkshires this weekend in my '05 TL auto. 325 miles RT, 80/20% Highway/local roads. Per OBC: Average MPH: 60 Average MPG: 28 Whilst on the Mass Pike and 495, cruised mostly  80mph with bursts slightly higher and some traffic lowered into the 60s.

Replying to: scottm123 (Oct 29, 2007 4:07 am) I was passed by a black 'Slade on 495s Sunday. I was at 80, he was doing at least 100. Late for the Pats game, I guess... And he wasn't getting 28mpg (and probably didn't care)! |
|
| Got it on a 5 mile stretch of Garden state parkway in NJ, after filling up and going right on highway in moderate traffic that kept my speed at a constand 50-55mph. | |
Just did a first long trip for 06TL auto of 430 miles. Overall 30-31 MPG on highway average 70mph w/ AC on. Mostly city driving in town since ownership around 21 MPG. So far so good.

Replying to: hky (Dec 05, 2007 9:27 am) That result--8% off--accords with my less precise measurements done around town, where the trip computer usually read around 20 to maybe 21 MPG, and my calculations come in at 19. I am not really very happy with these figures, but they are pretty close to the EPA estimates of 18 and 26. I suspect with more normal driving, my trip mileage would be down 1 or 2, to around 27 or 28.
