| I drive a base 2008 TL and am getting about 24mpg city and about 27-28 mpg on the highway; I consider these excellent numbers for a luxury sports sedan like the TL; the only other luxury sedan that gets good numbers like this is the ES350 buts thats not a sports sedan; infiniti, BMW, or audi doesn't get numbers like this!!! | |

I drive a 2008 Base TL and have been using Hess 93 Octane gas for the last year; I've been getting a respectable 24 MPG with mostly rural town/city driving and about 28-29 MPG with highway/interstate travel; over the last two months I switched to Shell V-power after reading several articles on Edmunds, etc how Shell is a top tier fuel and they most people get their best gas mileage with them but I don't see that happening with me; I've had 6 fill ups with Shell V-power and have lost 2 MPG in all driving; I now get 22 MPG with mostly rural town/city driving and about 25-26 MPG with highway/interstate travel; has anyone else had this happen to them? I was going to give it another two fillups with Shell V-Power to see if the MPG improves but if it doesn't I'm going to switch back to Hess/Exxon/BP 93 Octane

I previously leased a 06 Base TL and now am leasing a 08 Base TL; I was looking at the original window stickers and the EPA on my 06 was 20mpg city - 29mpg highway and my 08 is 18mpg city - 26mpg highway; I also looked up in my gas records and saw that on avg I was getting 24-25 mpg with 80% rural and 20% highway driving on my 06 Base TL and now with my 08 Base TL on avg I'm getting 21-22mpg with 80% rural and 20% highway driving; both cars are filled with the same 93 octane gas and driven relatively identical but the drop in mpg from 06 to 08 is consistent with the EPA drop on the window stickers; what I don't understand is what changed between the 04-06 models and the 07-08 models to warrant the drop in fuel econ? the base engines were the exact same and the gas tank is the same size so I am at a lost as to what changed between 2006 and 2007 that affected the fuel economy? any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated!!
