This topic is for RSX owners to share their actual MPG with others. "Real World" Fuel Economy vs. EPA Estimates Save Money on Gas

Replying to: KarenS (Jul 13, 2005 8:49 am) Canadian car purchased Aug 2001. I keep my mileages in Quattro Pro files so they're in there by year. Here goes: My best mileage was 41.9 mpg and 6.7 litres per kilometer 2002 average for the year was 31.4 mpg and 9.1 litres 2003 average for the year was 30.1 mpg and 9.5 litres 2004 average for the year was 25.7 mpg and 11.3 litres 2005 average year to date is 23.9 mpg and 11.9 litres You'll notice mileage is getting worse but that's due to less mileage driven and more short hops versus long trips.

Hi, Just got a 2003 RSX Type S this past weekend, and on my first tankful of gas (yeah, they delivered it to me empty, so I've filled it twice already), I averaged 32.8 mpg. Not too shabby. My '95 Accord EX averaged about 31 around town. |

2005 Type-s - 27 mpg

| Second fillup on my '03 Type S, 31.5 mpg, mixed around-town and highway driving. I spent a lot more time above 3500 rpms on this tankful, but that's still a pretty damn respectable mileage figure. | |

Bought it last month, 10,000 miles on it. This is my 4th fill, averaging around 31 mpg.

I do 75% highway (70 mph on highway), 25% City, and average 30 mpg during the summer. 2002 Base Manual, Bridgestone Turanza LS-H, 93 octane Shell V-Power. I keep data in Excel so numbers are accurate. If I slowed to 55 mpg on the highway I am sure I would get much closer to the 33 mpg my car is rated for on the highway. In addition, I've noticed several things: - mpg drops 2-3 points in the winter months. - my aftermarket Bridgestones dropped my mpg by 1 point (although the OEM Michelins were so bad that it is well worth the 1 mpg loss). - I have a Base, but filling with 93 octane increases mpg by 2 points (I know this is a controversial topic and I don't want to get into arguments about it, but I have done extensive tests on it, and it is true for me at least). |

I have a 2004 Base RSX with the 5-speed manual. I bought it new. I currently have 33K miles on the car, and the original tires (Michelin Pilot MXM4). I use a full synthetic oil, and I burn the 87 octane gas. Typical highway fuel economy at 70 MPH hovers around 30-31 MPG. One weekend I tried driving to St. Louis from Indianapolis (about 250 miles) at a steady 60 MPH, with the cruise control on. The traffic on the interstate was very light, and the car returned 37 MPG. Hmmm! The last time I got numbers like that was when I had an '86 Escort (5-speed). Not bad at all!
