Just bought an FX35. Love the car. The original factory epa mpg is between 16 and 21 mpg. I didn't buy the car for fuel economy purposes. As long as the actual nbrs are close, that's good enough for me.

Short trips for 2 weeks only in the city and my mpg drops to single digits. Using the medium grade gas.

Replying to: flzz (Mar 07, 2008 12:43 pm) I have a 2006 RWD FX35 with Touring and Sports packages. I am in Chicago and drive 5 miles round trip to my office everyday. I live downtown. In the city, I get horrible mileage. 8-10 miles per gal. But on the highway, I have done as well as 22 mpg.

Fizz said he uses 89-93 octane, never 87. Ethanol raises octane in fuel. Distributors that mix 10% ethanol in regular sell it as regular (87) and as plus (89). Same gas two prices. So check and see if it really does have 10% ethanol the octane is greater than 87. I check on the industry and they can sell a higher octane as a lower octane but not a lesser at a higher octane it is called fraud. I do not have the math but somebody should be able to provide it.

I average about 18+ in and around town. On two long highway trips I've averaged about 23+.
#27 of 28 DS mode by squishles10 Oct 08, 2009 (8:42 am)
I'm averaging 19.5 in the city and about 23 on the highway. I rarely have the windows down and 50/50 split on the AC. The reason I think these numbers are high is I use the DS mode to force a higher gear when cruising. There's no reason to be in 5th gear driving 60 down the highway so I pop it into 7th. For general city driving I leave it in D.   Also the myth about the AC is the rpms are higher with the AC but the drag is much worse with the windows down. Ideal would be no AC, windows up but that also requires a perfect outside temp and sun conditions. Haven't seen it yet
#28 of 28 Buy 2007 FX35 or Acura MDX? Help! by msfur Oct 11, 2009 (4:21 pm)
I am in a car Iove, the Cadillac SRX ,but it has been in the shop for repairs 24 times in 36 months.As the warranty is about to end, I am looking at cars, all CPO. Do you think it is too big a change to leave the SRX for an FX? Will I miss the comfort/smooth ride? The size? I like to keep a car a long time, but with the repair record of what I am in, feel forced to get out before I am hit with all of the service bills, and am a bit lost! I love the looks of the FX, but haven't driven one yet. Along with the Acura, I am also considering the Mercedes ML. Thanks in advance for any opinions.
