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

Acura TSX Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Average 28mpg over the past 6000 miles of mixed driving. Hit 36 mpg in about 200 highways miles this weekend. see full Acura TSX review
2012 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Besides price, this was my primary reason for choosing the TSX over the TL. I don't have a lead foot but average about 25-27 mpg overall. On the freeway I'm easily over 30mpg and can run 500 miles on a tank of gas. see full Acura TSX review
2010 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Surprisingly good fuel economy. Averaging around 27 mpg even with mixed driving conditions and a lead foot more often than not. Beats the EPA estimates easily especially in highway driving where 32+ MPG is possible. see full Acura TSX review
2010 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Honda Accord equivalent and a lot more fun to drive. see full Acura TSX review
2010 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 With 100% highway miles, expect about 30 mpg. I have averaged about 24-25 mpg over 5 tanks in about 50/50 city/highway. see full Acura TSX review
2009 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Wonderful...............better than manufacturer quoted. see full Acura TSX review
2009 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Average fuel economy has been around 28mpg in the city and up to 37mpg on the high, according to the trip computer. see full Acura TSX review
2009 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 32 mpg highway consistantly see full Acura TSX review
2009 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Better milage than my VW Golf 1.8! Golf is a smaller car, less powerful (great ride though!). Fuel economy with the TSX almost certainly better...given the highway miles I put on. see full Acura TSX review
2007 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 While easy driving, the car runs at very low REVs. see full Acura TSX review

2011 4dr Wagon 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Fuel economy for mixed city and highway is not very good for my driving style: between 20 and 23 mpg. I don't drive with the pedal down! see full Acura TSX review
2004 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 the fact you "should" use premium gas makes it expensive to run as a 4 cylinder car see full Acura TSX review
2004 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 With my admittedly brick-like right foot, I'm lucky to get 24 MPG in mixed driving, which isn't stellar for a 6MT four-cylinder. (With California premium gas, no less.) see full Acura TSX review

2010 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD		 16-17 in the city. 25-26 on the freeway. Not bad than other comparable cars. see full Nissan Maxima review
2009 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD		 It is between 25-29.2 on the highway depending on headwinds. It seems sensitive to wind, mileage-wise. In town is excellent. In 4k miles the worst tank has been 23.2 when it was brand new and very cold out. City mileage is understated in my opinion. see full Nissan Maxima review
2003 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed manual FWD		 I get between 26-27mpg. see full Nissan Maxima review
2003 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 Fuel economy is great for a 250+ horsepower automatic see full Nissan Maxima review
2003 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed manual FWD		 it averages about 20 mpg consistently see full Nissan Maxima review
2002 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed manual FWD		 For a large car with a relatively large engine, this engine is mirror smooth which helps it get great highway mileage. see full Nissan Maxima review
2002 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed manual FWD		 I consistently get 25 in the city, and 33-34 all highway. Excellent fuel economy for any car, let alone one with a 3.5L V6. see full Nissan Maxima review
Nissan Maxima Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD		 Not as good as advertised see full Nissan Maxima review
2010 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD		 Depends on a lot on your right foot. Driven like a Prius, 26 MPG city and 33 MPG highway. Driven normally with occasionally throttle bursts, 27 MPG highway, 21 MPG combined. The CVT ratio spread maxes out at 2200 RPM at 75; a little high for MPG. see full Nissan Maxima review
2009 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD		 City driving is brutal on mpg. If you get 12 mpg you are doing well. Highway miles are great - over 30, so great on trips, stinks for commuting. see full Nissan Maxima review
2008 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD		 Not as good in town as expected. Get around 20-22 mpg in town, 25-28 on hi-way see full Nissan Maxima review
2006 4dr Sedan 265-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 24MPG on the HWY. Come on...Crown Victoria is almost 30 has a V8 and gets 29 MPG on the HWY. see full Nissan Maxima review
2002 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed manual FWD		 This car loves to suck gas especially when pushed. And not just any gas, the high compression VQ35DE engine requires premium. In my experiences anything less than 91 octane will yield poor performance and odd engine noises. I average 17-18 mpg at best. see full Nissan Maxima review
