Replying to: taxesquire (Mar 19, 2007 12:14 pm) Put me on the list of avoiding Citgo/Venezuela because of the Chavez butthead. Anywhere but there. We don't have 91 octane on the East Coast. 87,89,93 only. What happened to Sunoco's dial-an-octane?

| I think you're confusing hot air with gasoline. they both come from South of the Border. The last time I checked, our local Citgo was manned by locals.. Why hurt them? | |

I have a 2005 TL and it claims : 18 mpg in city 21 mpg mixed 26 mpg highway I have 82,000 miles on my car and was wondering why I am getting 15 mpg city 19 mpg mixed I buy grade 93 gas. Maybe it is time to buy a new 3rd set of tires? Maybe something else is causing a drop in mileage? or buy new NGK Iridium spark plugs? Although I hear that you don't need to change spark plugs til 100,000 miles for the '20 TL, but I've heard that NGK is best to change around 60,000 miles even though NGK's website says it depends on what your car manufacturer recommends.... Any insight on this ?

Replying to: habitat1 (Mar 20, 2007 4:27 am) I used 91 and 93 gas. the TL has 8000 miles. The pinging noise comes only after driving the car for 30 min or more (means hot engine). So the problem might be caused by the reason as habitat1 said "compression and temperatures before deto". I talked to the dealer to see if this will eventually give damage to the engine. They said no and suggest to use injector cleaner to clean the fuel system. Will this help? Any one has similar experience as I do - your suggestion? Hate Acura car !!!!!!!

Replying to: laurasdada (Sep 16, 2008 9:54 am) Talk to the dealer and he suggested to add injector cleaner. Just did that and have to wait to run a whole tank of gas. I am definitely having enough with this car. For example, with so many rattle noise still not fixed a few weeks ago a wind noise comes from the passenger side at speed above 40. I tried to figure out the source by blocking the window using scotch tape (for office use) one at a time. I found the source and fixed it tentatively by myself (use scotch tap to block that area). I do not think the dealer can fix all these problems unless you tell them exactly what/where is wrong. That is why I would like to first try by myself and listen to your guys suggestion. Anywhere TL is a very poor qaulity car no matter what you say about it.
