What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Acura TL

Acura TL Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Sedan 305-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Mileage has been pretty good to great. At 65 mph with cruise control on a smooth, level highway I've gotten 33 mpg. 80mph (legally in west Texas) on cruise control I've gotten 24 to 25 mpg depending on wind. Between those, 70 to 75 mph on a highway, I get about the EPA highway rating of 26 mpg. In mixed highway and traffic I routinely get 23 mpg (this is my usual commute). Straight stop-and-go errand-running I get 17 to 18 mpg, which is pretty close to the EPA city rating. I tend to be somewhat light on the throttle most of the time. see full Acura TL review
2010	4dr Sedan 305-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Definitely getting poor mpg - not sure if this is an issue with just my vehicle but I am not getting even close to the estimated fuel economy see full Acura TL review
2008	4dr Sedan 286-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual FWD	Gets great fuel economy, 29mpg at 80-85mph cruize. over 30mpg if I slow it down to low 70s see full Acura TL review
2008	4dr Sedan 258-horsepower 3.2L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I routinely do 29.5 mpg on the highway, 20-24.5 around town, depending on the route and the traffic. see full Acura TL review

2010	4dr Sedan 305-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Coming from a 3.2 engine that regularly got 22-23 mpg it it a bit disappointing that the 2010 TL with the 3.7 gets only 18-19 mpg. I would expect with the engine technologies improvement over the years that the bigger engine could get better fuel mileage. see full Acura TL review
