wnaplay1647545503 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 My 02 bravada tells me about 35. I have heard those readings arent all that reliable. What is a 200? tl suppose to average 24-30 highway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmrmnhrm Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 My 02 bravada tells me about 35. I have heard those readings arent all that reliable. What is a 200? tl suppose to average 24-30 highway? Really depends on the car in question... across 35k miles, my Civic's display is actually about 0.7mpg worse than what I figure using the "how much gas have you pumped in" method.

street pilot Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 now factor in the error of the computer and the price of premium fuel. Its not horrible by any means, but certainly not crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Divide it out when you run out of gas in the tank and tell us what you get then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Fucking GM. The temp reading on my Avalanche is VERY accurate after the first 1-2 miles of driving (so it can cool off from baking in the sun). I'm sure my fiancée's A4 will get that kind of mileage freeway only too, without being some lame-o front wheel driver. I love the TL's, I HATE the FWD. The new TL's are supposed to be AWD...but I also hear they won't look as good either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRed05 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I usually get 28-30 on the freeway with my TL-S. Mixed though, it drops down to about 22... My room mate bitches about his gas mileage in his TL. Somewhere between 15-20mpg, averages 18 ive heard him say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMess Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I am very impressed with the gas mileage my 06 TL gets. I babied it on the last trip and got 34. Couldn't be happier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 my Altima's computer said it got 35 when it was all freeway... I typically drive probably 70% freeway and 30% in town and it says between 27-28.... with the A/C on, I've been getting considerably less.... oh, and the outside temp gauge sucks... even after it cools off, it's still about 5-10 degrees off.

unfunnyryan Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I've gotten 35MPG on fresh oil and fresh air filter going down 33 to athens to pick up brother at ohio university. In your face hybrids. The way back I only got 31 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
