Gas Consumption of TSX
I have got my TSX for 3 weeks (sliver 5AT, Nav for 30000 OD, with 3.45% APR). Holly, what a great Car!!!!

I just got one question, what is the average gas consumption of this car?

I add up to 14 gallon and can only run about 280 miles (freeway and local)

I thought it would be at least better than my BMW 330i which has 16 gallon with 320 miles (freeway and local)

BTW, great place for TSXers

Welcome to the club, TSXBMW.

The fuel economy on the window stickers for the 2004 models of the TSX. if I remember correctly were the the following:

6MT 22MPG and 29MPG
5AT 23MPG and 32MPG

I am currently averaging 19MPG to 14.7 gallons (270 miles range) in my TSX, usually I get around 24.5MPG or 370 mile range. The best I got was back in July 2003 when I achieved 32MPG and 490 miles!

Welcome! I have found that the TSX is EXTREMELY sensitive to driving conditions when it comes to MPG. I have seen swings much greater than any car I've driven. My average is probably about 25-26. My lowest, which has been city driving in very cold weather is about 20-21. However, my best on a trip - all highway, cruise control on was 36! Also, it appears that higher speeds yield higher mileage. When I use local highways with speed limits of 55, I avg around 29 mpg. To get above that, I have to be going over 65. Most vehicles have optimum mileage around 50 mph, but doesn't seem that case with this. Maybe it's the 5 speed transmission?

Welcome TSXBMW

I agree with Dr Gong... I get lower gas mileage in city only driving, in the lower 20's and a couple in the teens. And if I do mostly highway driving, I get mid to high 20's. Highest I've ever gotten was ~29.5 and lowest was ~15. I'm overall averaging 25-26.

The manual says 91 octane or higher is recommended. When I bought my TSX I used 93 octane gasoline, then I started using 89 octane in Winter 2003 and then used 87 octane for a while, mainly during the summer of 2004. 87 octane works fine, but I found that performance and acceleration was more sluggish....I find that it also lowered my gas mileage a bit.

I am currently using 89 octane and its just as good as premium and my gas mileage is about average.

It appears that I'm getting a little better gas mileage than average on this site. In Ohio, the stations usually go from 89 to either 93 or 94 octane fuel. 91 is rare. Could the higher octane be giving me the better mileage? If so, it may be worth the extra $ to try. I'm lucky in that several stations around me charge the same price for all grades on Saturday & Sunday, so I always go with high octane, of course. It's also a great time to meet all of the other luxury car owners in the area, coming out for a good deal.

For all of my 7200 miles I averaged 28 MPG. Not a lot of highway driving, mostly county/town roads with traffic lights. But I do shift early (most of the time )
