You are in the Acura TL Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
| 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.

Replying to: charles12 (Sep 16, 2008 11:10 am) Have you heard the expression, "You attract more bees with honey than with vinegar"? There are many people on this forum that have a great deal of knowledge and would go out of their way to help you but when you come in here saying that their cars are "poor qaulity" (sic) and that you hate Acura you are going to be hard pressed to find anyone with any real interest in helping you. There, I feel much better now!

Replying to: upstatedoc (Sep 16, 2008 12:01 pm) I am an honest person to say what I feel. I can not say I love the car when I am not. I do love my lexus car and recommended it to many of my friends (5 brought lexus, no one got acura within the past 10 months). The worst case is that I will trade in TL with an infiniti or IS350. I feel it is to soon for me to do the trade-in (within less than one year and less than 9000 miles). I do agree with you that "You attract more bees with honey than with vinegar" - thanks. On the other hand, I think I have much more experince on figuring out rattle noise than most of you. - not too bad. Charles Jones
