Enjoy!
Should the TSX and the TL be detuned slightly, to run on regular? I'd favor that, although I'm not passionate about it. The diesel option would be more appealing if it weren't for the fact that diesel fuel costs considerably more than gasoline in most parts of the U.S.
There are plenty of choices out there for those who value fuel economy above all. You can get a really nice Camry Hybrid that will offer most of the luxury of a TL with much better fuel economy. It won't be as sporty, but that is my point.
I think the more realistic hope is that Acura can make the TL more fuel efficient than the G35 or ES350. A diesel version will be coming in the next year or so. Diesel is only more expensive because demand is lower. Once more diesels are on the road the price will come down accordingly.
To clarify, I said I'd prefer a slightly detuned TL that uses regular. "Detuned" implies that I'm willing to accept a small loss of power as a tradeoff for the savings of regular. I also said that I'm not passionate on this point, which is intended to mean that premium gas wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.
I own a TL, and I've only used premium. I was just stating a preference.
I had an '05 TL but traded for an '07 MDX fro the AWD. The MDX's manual clearly states that using 87 octane temporarily is OK but longterm use can cause engine damage.
RN is leasing...
And I believe that the '05 TL states basically the same thing re: lower octane gas.

Not hard to have better fuel efficiency than the G35 at 17/24!!!!
Diesel is more expensive because demand is lower?? I've got a bridge in Brooklyn for sale too.

If they did, I'd bet it'd be smaller than 3.5 liters. I'd really be surprised if they sold the 3.7 V6 in Japan, although I'd be equally surprised if they didn't offer the SH-AWD option. I understand that AWD is quite popular in Japan.
Overall the shape looks ok, but probably not the home run that the current was back in '04. It could be worse...at least it doesn't look like the Maxima! But is anyone now going to spend the extra $ to buy the RL?

So are you suggesting that rnmom shouldn't worry about using 87 octane because she won't have to deal with the long term effects? :confuse: :sick:
My "only a few more payments and she's all mine" TL has never tasted anything less than 91 octane. 90% of the time, 93.

Strange occurance, Premium at the Sunoco went down from $4.32 to $4.27...! Should I be worried?
Right behind the Sunoco station is a Jag/LR dealer. Maybe they lowered the price to get the dealer to fill up there instead of going a bit down the road where it was .12/gallon cheaper.
Jag, I want one.

Too unreliable, same goes for Land Rover. The Brits have to get their act together.
They are sexy though.....
Many, many years ago whilst riding the train to work, two gentleman were discussing their weekends. Man 1 asks man 2, "So how do you like your new Jag?" Man 2 replies, "I love it! I found the best mechanic!" True story, but that was back in the mid '80s...
I think I would enjoy an XF or XK. I've always been a fool for a pretty face.

Ah, I dunno about that.....I think us Canadians are the sexiest! Much more so than the Brits. :P

Land Rover.. Ehh.. I'll pass.. I think the S-Type R in British Racing Green just looks so much sexier

It also looks like it has gained considerable weight.
