2003 Touring - 15 - 17/mpg City, 22/mpg hwy - Approx. 58,000 miles, and I used to get 24/mpg hwy on a regular basis, but not for a few years now. I always use premium fuel, and my driving style is the same as it was when I bought the car new. The Acura dealer that services my car can't tell me why I have lost 2 mpg. Looking at some of these other posts, though, I don't feel quite so bad.

I took the wife's car to the dealer yesterday to pick up the running boards...I was in quite a shock when I learned that in mostly city driving the car was averaging 15.7MPG :O
City: 14.5-16 MPG in Canadian winter and upto 19MPG in summer mostly using Costco 91 octane gas. I have noticed though that ESSO and Shell gas gives better mielage. Have not driven on highway since I started keeping mileage log.
Thread is pretty dead...but thought I'd update. Now at 5,500 miles and overall life average is sitting around 19mpg according to MID. Did a 450 mile trip a week or so back and managed 22.7mpg on a single fill. MID was reporting 21.4mpg for that tank so it seems to be conservative. Pretty happy overall...only expected to average around 17mpg overall. Running 93 octane BP most of the time but sometimes will use 89 if tank is half-full.
Just wanted to note on my trip to LA, the average actually got up to 25mpg while doing 80mph most of the way. I was pleasantly surprised. My typical average around town and normal highways is usually around 19-20.
