The best my '00 TL has never done was 33 MPG, and that was only once and
involved driving out an entire tank of gas non-stop from fillup to empty on
the Interstate with the cruise control set at 79, the AC off and the windows
& sunroof open. Otherwise, on the highway it gets 28-30 and around town
20-23.
