Replying to: buyer777 (Aug 29, 2008 4:45 pm) Wow! When we did Boston to DC and back in April, my '05 TL with 4 passengers and a full trunk of luggage averaged 27+mpg. Probably 85% highway driving, including traffic jams in Jersey and around DC... IIRC, about 1100 miles total.

Replying to: buyer777 (Aug 29, 2008 4:45 pm) Wow is right, my '05 never cracked 30 on the highway. That's Honda Civic mileage. Did you install a Tornado or something?

Replying to: snagy1 (Oct 07, 2008 11:09 am) Just got back from a trip from Dallas, TX to Fayetteville, AR. Trip computer showed 32 on the way up and 30 on the way back. Manual computation showed overall average of 29.5. Most driving was done at 70-75 MPH. Had about 20 minutes of creaping or sitting still in OK on the way up and a 25-30 MPH headwind on the way back. Drove through Fort Smith twice and some driving in Fort Smith and about 10 minutes of creaping along or sitting still. Filled up with 93 octane before leaving Dallas but could only find 91 octane when filling up in AR.

Just thought I'd put my 2 cents in as well. Bought a 2008 TL 3.2 in September. I drive 50 miles a day. about 55% highway and 45% surface roads. Having said that, I live in Hampton Roads (Virginia Beach, Norfolk) and the highway is RARELY above 35 mph. I drive I would estimate conservatively. I've been getting 24.8 MPG on 5 tanks. I did just do a short trip to Williamsburg and it looks like I got over 27. Not bad at all. Scott - Virginia Beach.

Replying to: laurasdada (Apr 28, 2008 1:19 pm) I know I am a little late, but your post on the WDC trip was great. I flew from Columbus, OH 99$ RT) with my grandson to Dulles and rode a cab ($16) to the museum. Back the same day and well worth the trip. We have a 2008 TL now, bought in August, but only 700 miles on it. We are driving to Dallas(2300 miles RT) for Thanksgiving and I like to drive 80 to 90 on the freeway. I was looking for advice about driving that long, that fast, with so few miles on it. Replies to this message: upstatedoc (Nov 10, 2008 1:21 pm) rvator4 (Nov 21, 2008 3:57 pm)

Replying to: rvator4 (Nov 08, 2008 7:31 am) Your owners manual may say something about not using the cruise control until the car is broken in,check it out.    "I like to drive 80 to 90 on the freeway"   You need a good radar/laser detector, check out the wealth of knowledge on radardetector.net. They also have info on speed traps/types of radar/laser for your region. Happy motoring! Replies to this message: rvator4 (Nov 21, 2008 3:57 pm)
#296 of 333 Real time MPG by dlake1 Nov 17, 2008 (11:28 pm)
I am thinking about buying a 2006 - 2008 TL. My wife's Lexus 350ES has real time mpg readout in instrument cluster. I test drove a 2008 TL yesterday, and could only seem to get AVG mpg. Does TL have real time mpg readout? Even my old Eddie Bauer ford explorer had it. Surely TL would?   I like the burled walnut interior better in the 2006. The trim in the 2008 is... well not as appealing to me. But it's hard to find a 2006 with navi in Phoenix. Replies to this message: rickpoole (Nov 18, 2008 5:21 am) dlake1 (Nov 18, 2008 6:04 am)
