TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Acura ILX

Acura ILX Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2016	High-revving largish fours aren't the fashionable route to fuel efficiency. But the 201-horsepower 2.4-liter engine when mated to an eight-speed dual clutch automated manual transmission (DCT) returns EPA ratings of 25 mpg city, 36 mpg highway--better than the 2013-2015 ILX managed with a 150-horsepower 2.0-liter engine. The Audi with its au courant 180-horsepower turbocharged 1.8-liter checks in a little lower, with 23/33. But the Acura isn't quite best-in-class. The Mercedes-Benz CLA250 manages 26/38. Notably, both the Audi and the Mercedes also have DCTs, though with "only" six and seven speeds, respectively. Then there are hybrids and diesels. The ILX used to be available as a hybrid. But the ILX Hybrid's fuel economy wasn't stellar (39/38) and its performance was so uncompetitive even compared to the Prius-based Lexus CT 200h (43/40) that Acura killed it after just two model years. The Audi A3 TDI, the segment's lone entrant with a diesel, rates 31/43. For a combination of performance and fuel economy, it's hard to beat. Except that as I write this Audi dealers can't sell them, pending an investigation into whether they violate EPA regulations. A final note on fuel economy: the TLX's EPA figures are only a single mpg lower than the ILX's. see full Acura ILX review

Acura ILX Real Gas Mileage: Cons

	Why doesn't Acura offer the larger four-cylinder engine with an automatic transmission? Likely because its fuel economy is already iffy with the stick. The EPA ratings are 22 MPG city, 31 highway. One benefit of turbochargers is that they enable lower rpm shifts and taller gearing. A Jetta GLI matches the Acura in the city, and does a couple MPG better on the highway. Not bad, but you'll find some much more powerful, much larger cars that score better than either of them. see full Acura ILX review

2008	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	It is @ least 4 mpg better hwy & city see full Audi A6 / S6 / RS6 review
2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	It's hard to imagine such a powerful luxury car can get such great gas mileage. On a recent trip to Montreal I calculated my fuel economy to be somewhere in the 27mpg range....incredible! see full Audi A6 / S6 / RS6 review
2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	better then 28 mpg on highway due to transmission gearing see full Audi A6 / S6 / RS6 review
2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Despite the performance of the A6 3.2 it delivers great mpg for such a large car. It excels on the open road. With cruise it is possible to achieve a range of 650+ miles on a tankful. see full Audi A6 / S6 / RS6 review
2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	With the FSI and V6, I regularly see 27 mpg in city. And arround 30-32 mpg highway (no A/C on, and cruising at 80 mph). see full Audi A6 / S6 / RS6 review
2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	21=22 mpg in cit/commute/highway driving -- pretty good for a large luxury car that weighs 4000+ pounds. see full Audi A6 / S6 / RS6 review
2004	4dr Sedan 220-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	Typically 22-24 in-town and 29-31 on the road. Excellent economy for car size and level of comfort. see full Audi A6 / S6 / RS6 review

2002	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.7L V6 6-speed manual AWD	For a car that requires 91+ octane, it would be nice if it got better gas mileage in city driving (around 16-18 mpg). The mileage on the highway is much better (up to 26 mpg). see full Audi A6 / S6 / RS6 review
