Mine is right at 40,000 miles. The overall gas mileage over 40886 miles is
22.8 mpg. On the highway, it has always gotten between 29-32 MPG (cruising
at 75-80 mph). City is 20-23 MPG. The AC (or maybe its the funky summer
gas) accounts for a 2-3 mpg decrease in the summer.

23 on the highway is too low. Something is not right if that¹s all you get.

I own a 2001 TL and on mostly highway driving, I get 10 liters per 100 kms
in summer time, which is very close to what you get. I usually drive it at
75-80 mph, but I also noticed that I get slightly better mileage if I drive
it at 100 km/h (62.5 mph).

In the four years I've owned the car, I've gotten pretty loudy gas
mileage. Well, maybe not lousy, but the best I've gotten about 23 mpg if
I did nothing but highway driving.

Are you guys getting about the same?

I remember being a bit less than impressed with the gas mileage when I
first got the car, but the service techs at the dealership said that it
should improve as the car breaks in (?). After 4 years, if it's still
not better, I don't see how it will improve on it's own.

On a typical tankful of gas, I'm getting 20-21 mpg.

My 2000 TL 3.2....gives approx 27 ~ 30 mpg on highway and 22 ~ 24 mpg city
driving. Tankful of gas with mixed driving is approx 26 mpg. I have 60,750
miles.

My 2 cents

You can't get a stick shift TL.

E. Meyer to my rescue again...right...TL automatic...just filled up
today....what's up with the gas prices...paid $ 1.979 a gallon for 93
octane. Was just 1.797 last week....bumped up by $ 0.20 in a WEEK???

In any case, the gas mileage (highway + city). Tankful 332 miles / 12.9
gallons = 25.7 mpg....cost me a whopping $ 25.50....and the yellow light
wasn't even on....That's the MOST I have paid for gas in the Boston area.
My previous record was $ 1.949.

Hope that clarifies the gas mileage on my car (2000 TL 3.2)
