Its not Acura that puts the figures out its the EPA...Usually mileage is worse than what the company advertises. I'd be surprised if the TLX actually lived up to the figures that Acura puts out. Hopefully they prove me wrong.
That's not quite true. The EPA publishes numbers that are given to them by the manufacturer. The EPA then randomly chooses models each year to double check to make sure the ratings are correct.Its not Acura that puts the figures out its the EPA...
There aren't even any TLX's on Fuelly yet!

V6 - Tech, 3rd tank of fuel, 'SPORT' IDS Mode, 33.6 MPG avg, 50 MPH avg. I loved the way the car responded in this mode over the 'NORMAL' setting. I am trying 'ECONOMY' mode with this tank of fuel.V6 - Tech, 2nd tank of fuel, 'NORMAL' IDS Mode, 34.2 MPG avg, 50 MPH avg. Trying 'SPORT' mode with this tank of fuel.
These are very impressive numbers. I assume you are running on premium gas ?V6 - Tech, 3rd tank of fuel, 'SPORT' IDS Mode, 33.6 MPG avg, 50 MPH avg. I loved the way the car responded in this mode over the 'NORMAL' setting. I am trying 'ECONOMY' mode with this tank of fuel.
Yes I am.These are very impressive numbers. I assume you are running on premium gas ?
On my third tank now.
I seem to average 35.5 MPG on the highway and 28 combined city/highway in Sport mode using premium gasoline. 75% of my driving is interstate/turnpike. I never just drive in the city alone. Once I take a long trip out of town on the highway, I will manually check the mileage.
I am happy I get this much in Sport. I wonder if the computer can be trusted?

V6 - Tech, 4th tank of premium fuel, 'ECONOMY' IDS Mode, 33.2 MPG avg, 47 MPH avg. I do not like the way the car performs or the MPG in this mode. I am going to cycle thru the modes again to see if there are any changes due to 'break-in'. I have 1,500 miles on the car now. Back to 'NORMAL' mode with this tank.V6 - Tech, 3rd tank of fuel, 'SPORT' IDS Mode, 33.6 MPG avg, 50 MPH avg. I loved the way the car responded in this mode over the 'NORMAL' setting.

Thanks. Good to know.V6 - Tech, 4th tank of premium fuel, 'ECONOMY' IDS Mode, 33.2 MPG avg, 47 MPH avg. I do not like the way the car performs or the MPG in this mode.

I am very happy with the MPG but did expect more in 'ECONOMY' especially with the major difference in response. I did like 'SPORT' the best too. Since there really isn't that big a difference in MPG between the modes, at this point I will most likely use 'NORMAL' or 'SPORT'. I will use the 'ECONOMY' mode if I use the car for a long trip. Right now I only use the car to go back and forth to work, 70 miles round trip, and 2/3 of the trip is highway. I usually cruise at 75 MPH. I am very happy with the MPG and it is as good if not better that my '11 TSX - 4 cyl on the same route.Thanks. Good to know.
So far I have had great mileage myself. Highway miles are better than expected.
I believe I will leave it in Sports mode. I don't see much difference in MPG, but I will have to look closely to see if this is true. The drive is more fun in Sports mode.
BTW, I am driving the I4 Tech. I just noticed you drive a V6. That's good MPG.
