You are in the Acura TL Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
You guys driving TL Hybrids?  For me, pure highway driving would be about 31 - 32 mpg. Semi city - about 21 - 23 mpg Pure urban driving - 16.5 - 19.5 mpg. But here's the kicker. Those numbers are based on imperial gallons, which is 20% larger than US gallons.

Replying to: KarenS (Jun 02, 2005 9:25 am) 24/25 mpg with speed avg 31mph for the last 6k miles. (70 miles daily) City driving about 50%  25-40mph speed limit Highway 55-65 mph speed limit. Mostly using 93 octane gas but lately I use 50% regular and 50% premium. It turns out the mpg gets better (dont whether it may works on other car) by 1 mpg from 24 to 25. It got worse to 21 mpg once before the 2nd service 13k miles but it went up again after I used a $7 fuel system cleaner and had the car serviced the next day as required by the computer.

18.5 mpg so far with two tankfuls of gas and one month of ownership. Almost all city/suburban roads with some hard accelerations.

I get 30 mpg in commute (25 mi one way commute 65 max flat and steady) I get 32 on highway light load little AC I get low 20S around town. this is consistent with my 04 TL. Aggressive driving lowers all this greatly. I imagine few people drive the way I do. It shows this wide tired hvy car is quite efficient overall. Motorweek and other testers have been very impressed with long term mileage. Most report mid 25-26 overall during 20 k miles--not bad at all. |

| In mixed local/highway commute, 40 miles/day. Average speed around 30mph. | |

Just a little over 575 miles. My last two tank fills have yielded about 17.6 to 18.1 MPG in 90% urban driving and trying like h^%^ to keep my nervous foot of it. I can hardly wait to take this baby up the coast...I anticipate great MPG's. My last car, Infiniti i30T had actually better MPG around town, 18.5 to 20.5 consistantly. Interesting because I almost went for a G35 which EPA's at 18 town vs. 20 for the TL. I would hope that with time the TL will yield better town MPG. David..... |

On a recent 700 mile trip with probably 3% city driving. The car is very smooth on the highway - I was averaging about 75 mph, but got it up to 120 once on some back roads.

I must be a mpg freak. I honestly get 30 mpg plus on my commute. Last fill up yesterday was way full 8 gallons and 245 miles. Last fillup was 7 gallons on 220 miles. I have an odd commute. Leave suburbia going downhill to the expressway about one mile and drive 24 miles at 62 mpg average and steady early morning. At times I have gotten 36 mpg on this commute but with slow downs, warm ups and parking lot time back into the 30-31 range. I have never been pure city but at those times I do the MPG plummets. The engine is very efficient at 60-70 mph, cd of .29 I recall and super tall gearing all make for a nice highway experience. I alway got simliar MPG in my 02 TL. I mix 87 and 93 50/50 each tank.
