Type II was never paired with a 5-sp from the factory

The CL-S is noticeably more economical (compared to an automatic Legend), especially on the freeway due to that 5th gear. But if you drive the 5 speed Legend just right I'm pretty sure you can get similar, if not better, gas mileage.

Combined city/freeway I get 380-400 miles per tank. I have a five-speed paired with the 3.5RL engine.

I would assume that your Legend has better economy than a 3.2CL Type-S automatic.You car is (marginally) marginally lighter and it's manual too.

My 6-Speed with about 440 Miles to a Tank Combined City and Highway, my car has around 240k Miles.

I usually get about 26 a gallon, if I drive nicely

***LegendGS*** · 10-05-07, 03:44 AM

With my 6-speed, mixed driving, I currently average 20 mpg. I drive with the flow of traffic.

Max MPG I have achieved was about 29 mpg all highway and ..... also with the flow of traffic.

Well how do you drive when there is a cop behind you?

Feuerstoss · 10-05-07, 05:16 AM

Hm... my usual mileage is about 21 city, 25 highway on a Type 1 5-speed coupe... I could get better if I tried a little harder, but I love to hear that engine roar sometimes. I usually go pretty easy on it, though.

I get 100km/10L or 24mpg driving like I usually do. The CL-S would probably give you the same mileage in the city as the Legend, provided your Legend is tuned up. It may be slightly better on the highway.

Hey are you the same guy who did the Type 2 swap in the black coupe and having trouble with the rpm going up and down? I live in Brampton too

I got 45mpg a couple weeks ago with my automatic type I. I was totally amazed that a 16 year old car could pull so many miles for a gallon of gas. I was keeping track, I had 250 miles on my odometer since the last fill up and it took 5.5 gallons of gas. That makes a little over 45 mile per gallon! Thinking back I realized my car had been towed for 135 miles a couple weeks ago, so in reality I got 21 mpg.

How does that compare to an Acura 3.2 CL, you ask?
