Acura TLX Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2015	Compared to the Honda Accord, the Acura TLX has stronger engines and different, more performance-oriented transmissions. As a result, fuel economy takes a bit of a hit. Focusing on the four-cylinder, the EPA ratings are 27/36 for the Honda and 24/35 for the Acura. The latter is a nice bump over the 22/31 of last year's TSX, though, and also compares favorably to the MKZ's 22/33. In my driving, the trip computer reported averages ranging between 24 and 36 mpg in the suburbs (the high number when I was especially easy on the pedals) and high 30s on the highway. Of course, if fuel economy is a priority you can get the MKZ in hybrid form. Acura offers no such option. But the MKZ Hybrid is relatively sluggish. If you want a combination of good performance and good fuel economy in the same car (if not during the same drive), the TLX 2.4 has an edge. see full Acura TLX review

2004	4dr SUV 290-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic AWD	An AWD V8 body on frame SUV/truck like the Rainier will be a gas pig. Mid to high teens are all you should expect. The benefit of poor gas mileage is strong towing performance. see full Buick Rainier review
